Measure the cat, not the room
A bed that looks generous in a photograph can still be too small for a cat who likes to stretch. One measurement takes thirty seconds and saves you a return.
How to measure
1. Wait until your cat is asleep, curled up rather than stretched out — that is the shape a bed has to hold.
2. Measure along the floor from the nose to the base of the tail. A piece of string held against a ruler afterwards works as well as a tape.
3. Add 10 cm. That is the smallest bed that will not feel cramped.
4. If your cat sleeps flat on their side more often than curled, add 20 cm instead.
Little House Cat Bed
These are outside measurements, and a house has walls — the space your cat actually lies in is a few centimetres smaller in each direction.
Small — about 45 × 31 cm
Medium — about 48 × 32 cm
Large — about 52 × 38 cm
Most adult cats settle happily in the Medium. Choose the Large for a Maine Coon or a Ragdoll, for a cat who sprawls rather than curls, or for two who insist on sharing.
Gold Bow Double Cat Bowl
One size only: 34 cm wide, 17.5 cm deep, 6.5 cm at its tallest. It suits cats and small dogs. The bowls tip gently forward, which lets a cat eat without pushing their head right down to the floor.
If you are between sizes
Take the larger one. A cat will use a bed that is roomier than they need and will simply ignore one that is too tight.
