A protected back
One single entrance, and that's what they're looking for
A cat that sleeps under the bed isn't running away: they want to be sure no one can approach them from behind. The enclosed shape meets exactly that need.
Who it's for
The cat who hides
A cat who sleeps under furniture or in cupboards isn't running away: they're looking for somewhere their back is protected. The enclosed shape meets exactly that need.
The busy household
Children, people coming and going, a busy home: it gives them a place that belongs to them alone.
The cat who feels the cold
The enclosed space holds in body heat, with no heating or extra blanket.
Two sizes
L for a standard build, XL for a larger cat or one who likes to stretch out.
The moment
For the cat who hides
Cupboards, under the sofa, cardboard boxes: if they always choose enclosed spaces, it isn't affection they lack, it's a shelter of their own.
Warmth
The enclosed space holds its temperature
No heating, no extra blanket: it's the small volume that holds in body heat. It makes all the difference for a cat who feels the cold or an older cat.
Which size should I choose?
Two sizes, and one simple rule: a cat will happily settle into a cat house that's too big, never into one that's too small.
How to measure your cat
- Measure them lying down, at rest, not stretched out.
- Add a few centimetres: a cat rarely sleeps in a straight line.
- Compare with the depth, not just the width.
A Maine Coon, a Norwegian Forest Cat or a cat with a dense long coat: go straight for the XL.

Getting them used to it
-
Put it in their spot
Where they already sleep, not where you'd like them to sleep.
-
Slip in a familiar piece of fabric
A piece of clothing that carries your scent, or their old throw: the familiar smell does half the work.
-
Don't force them in
Keep the entrance clear and never insist. A bed that's imposed is a bed that's refused.
Frequently asked questions
What people ask us about the capsule cat house
My cat won't go inside.
Leave it open for several days with a piece of fabric that carries their scent, without forcing anything. If nothing changes, move it: it's almost always a question of location.
Is it washable?
Surface cleaning is recommended. Check the label before any machine wash.
How is it different from the villa cat house?
The villa is larger — up to 49 × 39 × 41 cm — and shaped like a house. The capsule is more compact and more enveloping.
Is it suitable for two cats?
No, not even in XL: it's a bed for one cat. Two cats who sleep together need an open basket bed.
Give them a place of their own
An enclosed space, a single entrance, and a cat who finally stops sleeping under the bed.
