What is it made from?

Each Nest Basket is handwoven from natural cotton rope. It's soft enough to curl up in, textured enough for them to scratch and free from harsh synthetics. It also comes with an attached knotted rope ball for play.

The breathable rope lets air circulate, so it stays cool in warmer months and cozy with a pillow in colder weather.

Sizing

The Nest Basket comes in two sizes:

Medium: 42cm/16.5in diameter × 14cm/5.5in high. For cats up to 7kg/15lbs.

Large: 48cm/18.9in diameter × 15cm/5.9in high. For cats 7-15kg/15–33lbs, including large breeds.

If your cat is between sizes, we recommend going up a size. Suitable for all cats kittens to Maine Coons.

Directions for use

Place the basket where your cat already likes to scratch or rest, like beside the couch, near a sunny window, or by their favorite spot. Add a blanket or one of your worn t-shirts so it smells familiar and safe.

Then let them find it on their own. Avoid lifting them in. Most cats scratch it first, then settle in to rest. If you have more than one cat, give each their own basket in a different spot.

    No more shredded sofa!

    My sofa arm was a lost cause. I didn't expect a basket to change that, but she started taking her scratching to it instead after 2 days. She scratches it, then curls up inside for hours. It looks good in the room too, so I just leave it out.

    Her claws stay in much better shape

    I have a Maine Coon - trimming her nails was always a battle, and they'd get so sharp and snaggy in between. Now she happily scratches the nest basket on her own and her claws stay far more worn down. Still trim occasionally, but nowhere near as often.

    Peace in a two cat home

    My two cats, 3 and 8, used to fight over the same chair constantly. I got a basket for each of them, blankets on each basket and the squabbling basically stopped — they've each got a spot that's theirs now. Worth every penny for nights without the standoffs!

Why Do Cats Scratch?

Cats rely on scratching every day to claim territory, care for their claws, and feel secure.

The posts you've bought only do half of that, so they keep using the sofa leading to: sharp claws, shredded furniture, and a graveyard of posts and other toys.

  • 83.9% of cats scratch furniture - instinct, not misbehavior.

  • 42% lower stress-hormone levels in cats with enriched homes.

  • Rope is the #1 surface for the fewest scratching problems of any material tested.

Why Does The Nest Basket Actually Work?

When cats scratch, glands between their toes leave a scent marker called FIS (Feline Interdigital Semiochemical). That's how they claim a spot as their own. But a post gives them nowhere to actually rest.

The Nest Basket gives them one place to scratch, mark and rest. The dense natural weave keeps their claws in shape and every scratch draws them further away from your furniture.

FAQ

Will my cat actually use it?

Most cats investigate it within a few days and settle in once it starts to smell like theirs. We suggest adding their favorite blanket and other items that smell like them.

Cats don't simply move into a new bed; they claim a spot by scratching it, leaving their scent and resting there. The Nest Basket lets them do all three in one place. Put it where they already spend time and let them come to it. If it doesn't work for your cat, you're covered by our 30 day money-back guarantee.

My cat ignores every bed I buy. Why is this different?

Most beds are soft cushions with nothing to scratch, so your cat can't mark them as their own. They end up as just another object competing with the sofa and the cardboard box. The Nest Basket has textured rope walls they can scratch and mark, so it becomes a spot they claim rather than one they tolerate.

Isn't a scratching post enough?

A post gives them somewhere to scratch but nowhere to rest. They leave their scent on it, then go back to the sofa to sleep, which is why the sofa keeps getting scratched. The Nest Basket gives them one spot to scratch, mark and curl up in, so the whole instinct happens away from your furniture.

What makes the Nest Basket worth it?

Two products in one: a scratcher and a bed, so you're not buying a post and a bed that each get ignored.
Made for how cats claim a spot: they scratch it, leave their scent, then curl up in the same place.

Kinder to your furniture: a spot of their own to scratch means less damage to your sofa.
Risk-free: backed by our 30 day money-back guarantee.

Will it help with their claws?

Scratching is how cats naturally shed the worn outer layer of their claws. The Nest Basket gives them a textured surface to do that on instead of your sofa, which helps keep their claws conditioned. Claws still grow, so most cats will need an occasional trim.

I have more than one cat. Will they fight over it?

Cats do best with their own resources rather than sharing one favorite spot. Many multi-cat owners get a basket for each cat and place them in different areas, so each one has a spot of their own.

Is it suitable for kittens and adult cats?

Yes. The low sides (14–15cm / 5.5–5.9in) make it easy for kittens, adults and senior cats to step in and out. Choose Medium for kittens and cats up to 7kg / 15lbs, or Large for cats from 7–15kg / 15–33lbs.

Can this basket help my anxious cat?

Many nervous cats like having a cozy, semi-enclosed spot of their own to retreat to. The raised rope walls give them a snug place to settle, and it smells more like them the more they use it. It's not a treatment for anxiety, so if your cat's behavior changes suddenly, check in with your vet.

Will it look good at home?

Yes. The handwoven natural cotton rope looks like a piece of home décor rather than cat furniture, so it suits modern, Scandinavian, boho and rustic homes. It's something you'll be happy to leave out, not hide when guests come over.

Does it trap heat or make cats too warm?

No. The breathable cotton rope lets air circulate, so it stays cool in warmer months and cozy with a blanket in colder weather.

How do I clean it?

Vacuum or lint-roll away loose fur, then spot-clean any marks with a damp cloth and mild soap. Let it air dry fully before your cat uses it again.
