Today’s roundup is exactly for cat owners because we are going to make cozy cat beds. Every pet needs a comfy space for sleeping, and cats especially because they sleep 20 hours a day. If your kitty still doesn’t have a cozy bed, it’s high time to craft one! There are lots of techniques to use and lots of materials to use, it’s up to you and skills you have, here you’ll find various tutorials including crocheting, knitting, sewing, repurposing and more, so let’s get started.
The first tutorial is for those who like crocheting. This cozy cat bed is fully crocheted, it’s a great idea as such a bed is very cozy and soft – isn’t it what a cat needs? The piece is placed on a wooden stand with a scratcher – cats love sleeping somewhere high to control everything but you may place it wherever your cat likes to sleep, for example, on a window sill.

The option we are sharing here is exactly for those who lack space or for cats that prefer staying somewhere high. This is a wall-mounted cat hammock bed, don’t forget that the fabric should be durable to hold the cat.
