Woolygon Merino Wool Cat Cave, Racoon 20-Inch Foldable Hideaway

Woolygon’s Racoon Merino Wool Cat Cave is a foldable hideaway for cats seeking a warm, private place to rest, handmade from 100% merino wool and available in a 20-inch size.

• 100% merino wool, also identified as organic wool — gives cats a naturally insulated place to settle.
• Hand-felted by Nepali artisans — each cave is individually made, with slight variations in shape and size.
• 20-inch size — offers a roomy hideaway, up to 3 inches larger than other cat caves described in the product details.
• Foldable pod design — can also be used as a padded mat on warmer days.
• Soap-and-water cleaning — provides a straightforward way to clean the wool cave.

Cats often seek a sheltered spot where they can nap, play, or take a break from activity around them. This wool cave creates a defined hideaway with a covered interior and a separate top surface for resting. Its natural wool construction is intended to offer comfort across changing seasons, while the foldable form gives the cave more than one way to serve your cat’s resting routine.

What does the Woolygon cat cave offer my cat?

It provides a private place to hide, nap, and relax, with a top surface that can work as a resting bed. The felted wool helps retain warmth in winter and maintain a cooler-feeling resting place in summer. When the weather is hot, open the cave out for use as a padded mat rather than a covered pod.

The cave is made from natural merino wool without harsh chemicals or synthetic fibers. Wool’s natural properties are also said to help cats and kittens stay cleaner and smell better. These features make the cave a dedicated resting spot for everyday indoor use, rather than simply a soft surface with no sheltered space.

• Supports both enclosed hiding and open-top resting.
• Provides a private spot for rest and play.
• Natural wool insulation is suited to use in both colder and warmer seasons.

How large is the cave, and which cats does it suit?

The extra-large version measures 20 inches (50.8 cm), giving cats a roomy place to curl up or stretch out. Its size is described as up to 3 inches (7.62 cm) larger than other cat caves, with space intended for larger cats or more than one cat to share.

The medium size is intended for average-sized indoor cats up to approximately 10 lb (4.5 kg), for a snug fit. Since the medium and extra-large sizes have different intended fits, choose based on the size named for the version you are buying and your cat’s resting preference. Handmade felting can result in small variations in shape and size.

• Medium size: intended for average-sized indoor cats up to approximately 10 lb (4.5 kg).
• Extra-large size: 20 inches (50.8 cm).
• Hand-felted construction means individual pieces can vary slightly.

What is the Woolygon cave made from, and how is it made?

Each cave is individually hand-felted from 100% merino wool by Nepali artisans in the Himalayan Valley of Kathmandu. Woolygon’s stated production approach includes fair wages and ethical, environmentally friendly working conditions.

The wool is soft, lightweight, and described as durable for everyday use. Its felted form is designed to hold its shape over time without collapsing; if it loses its form, it can be popped back into shape. Lightweight construction also makes the cave easy to move between resting spots at home.

• Made by hand in Nepal.
• Felted from natural merino wool, with no synthetic fibers.
• Can be reshaped if needed.

How do I clean and use this wool cat cave?

Clean the cave with soap and water. Use it as a covered pod when your cat wants a sheltered retreat, or open it into a padded mat for a more exposed resting surface.

The foldable design lets the same wool piece serve different resting preferences without changing its basic purpose as a cat bed and hideaway. Its natural wool construction and care method make it suitable for cat owners who want a dedicated resting place that can be cleaned at home.

• Wash with soap and water.
• Use folded as a hideaway or opened as a mat.
• Handmade shape and size may vary slightly from piece to piece.

The Woolygon Racoon Merino Wool Cat Cave suits cat parents looking for a handmade wool retreat with both covered and open resting options. Its 20-inch extra-large version offers room for larger cats or multiple cats, while the medium size is intended for average-sized indoor cats up to approximately 10 lb (4.5 kg). It is a wool hideaway and resting mat made for cats, with fit depending on the size selected.
