The last cat I had, as a teenager, we were given her little bed hut when we received her. We had an information booklet about the cat and it feature a picture of her in the bed-hut (looks like pic above) but with her three kittens. Unfortunately she stopped using it after a while and i think my parents couldn't figure iut how to clean it effectively anyway, so the bed went away. Could chalk this up to it seeming "too big" without her children in [ ;( ] but I'm pretty sure it just wasn't that comfy for her/bored of it.

Further lore: The cat (lets call her toots for anonymity) came from a house with a lot of other pets, so maybe moving out of the hut was more a celebration of having more space to herself. She loved to climb everywhere and sleep everywhere, even preferring the hard floor to her (eventually) very hairy bed

Her hut, it got really hairy with the fur she would shed but it was too big to put in a washing machine. If we got her nowadays i would give a crack at cleaning it myself, but nobody could be bothered then.

'Toots' did sleep on my bed a lot eventually. I was actually scared of her at first, though, because "toots" was a fighting cat.
