Read what cat parents say after switching to the basket...
Didn’t think my cat would care… she hasn’t left it in 3 days.
My cat usually avoids every bed I buy and follows me around the house. I always feel guilty leaving her alone because she gets anxious so quickly. But the moment I put this down, she curled into it and genuinely relaxed. Friends even said, ‘Your cat looks so chilled.’ It’s the first time I’ve seen her properly switch off.”
Finally found a bed my cat actually uses
I wasn’t sure what to expect, but my old rescue boy took to this straight away. He usually ignores new beds and sleeps on the floor, but this one’s different. The shape feels secure and the texture’s just right for kneading. He’s been curling up in it every day since. You can tell he feels safe and settled. It looks lovely in the room too calm, simple, and well-made. Really happy with it.
Finally, something that looks nice… and the cats approve.
I didn’t want another bulky bed ruining the living room. This actually blends with my décor — guests have even asked where it’s from. And the best part? Both cats fight over it. Getting another one.
Didn’t think materials mattered… but they really do.
I always bought soft, fluffy beds, thinking that’s what cats wanted. Turns out mine likes structure much more. She kneads the rim, curls up tightly, and falls asleep more quickly. The natural texture makes a huge difference.
I thought it looked too simple… but that’s exactly why it works.
I assumed it was just a rope basket. But once you understand that cats prefer natural texture and structure, it makes sense. The rim is perfect for kneading, and the rush-grass base smells familiar to them. My boy uses it
Much easier to keep clean than fluffy beds.
I was tired of vacuuming fur out of plush beds. This cotton rope style stays fresh much longer and wipes clean. My cat prefers it!
Worth it, especially after wasting money on cheap beds.
I’ve bought so many beds that ended up in cupboards. This one felt different as soon as I touched it — sturdy, heavy, premium. My cat kneaded the walls immediately. Feels like a bed actually made FOR cats, not for humans.
I was worried about size… fits even my chunky boy.
I have a very round British Shorthair and thought it would be too small. Turns out the basket is deeper and wider than it looks. The walls support him really well. If you have a bigger breed, this is perfect.
Thought rope would be uncomfortable… It’s their favourite texture.
I assumed rope = scratchy. I was wrong. She sleeps on the fleece centre but keeps one paw on the cotton rim — like it helps her settle. She also scratches this instead of my sofa. If you’re unsure about the material, don’t be.

Calmicat Vs Fluffy Beds
FAQ's
Will my cat actually use it?
CalmiCat is built around real feline instincts — firm edges, natural fibres, and an enclosed nest shape that makes them feel safe.Place it where your cat already naps, sprinkle a little catnip into the hidden pockets, and let them explore at their own pace.95% of customers say their cat used it within 4–5 days.
How is it different from fluffy beds?
Cats don’t look for plush décor — they look for stability, natural textures, and den-like spaces they can claim. CalmiCat delivers the same security they feel in a cardboard box, without the mess or the eyesore. Handwoven rush grass and cotton rope provide the textures cats instinctively knead, scratch, and scent-mark.

How do I clean the bed?
Remove the cushion and hand-wash with mild detergent. Gently wipe the basket with a damp cloth and let it air-dry. The rope structure is designed for kneading and scratching, so it doesn’t trap dirt as plush beds do.

My rescue little gremlin is anxious and normally sleeps on the floor. The first night with this bed, he curled up inside and stayed there for hours. The structured shape clearly makes him feel safe. Really impressed.”
