"Donut!" Cat Hideaway Cave

Our cats love napping on top of this bed and running through the tunnel! Great cat enrichment item :)

Saw these online in an ad and just did the normal commit it to memory. Was out today with my wife and went into a local mom and pop pet store and they had one. It was the same price so I went back and got it for my 4 cats. The 2 younger ones love it and haven’t stoped playing for 3 hours now, I threw a light up ball inside and they’re going crazy. Highly recommend

I have two cats who love to lay on top of things, one who also really loves cuddle cups, so I assumed they would use this bed that way. Nope. They will not lay in the “upper cup” at all. I think it’s too deep and the bottom doesn’t “cup” them because the base is quite angled (see pics)

I was all set to take it back when my littlest cat started using it as a cubby that she can also enthusiastically scratch her claws in. Once she started doing that, my largest cat, who tends to not like enclosed spaces that much (the one I unfortunately bought a Navigator for, which has been a resounding fail for him. That’s a separate review), started entering the bottom and spending time in the tunnel. I’m thinking he likes this better than any carrier (especially the Navigator) because he never has to face a “wall” that he has to turn around in. He’s a big boy (almost all muscle), and not as flexible as most cats are, so he gets anxious when he can’t see a clear exit. He also rarely sleeps or relaxes curled up and needs room to sprea out his legs. But because all he has to do in this bed is keep walking forward so he can see the exit, he’s able to relax more and has been spotted hanging out in there from time to time.

I tried putting a fluffy, soft floor mat into the top section to see if that might make the bottom edges softer and make the experience more comfortable for them, but the top part is still a no-go. I’ve even put treats in the top area, and both back feet stay firmly planted on the ground.

But my little one loves her new cubby, and it seems well made, so it gets to stay. It’s pretty big though. And since I could probably find tunnel toys that are easier to store than this one, so I’m not sure I’d buy it again.

We bought this donut before we brought our kittens home in 2022. It was their safe hiding spot on their first day with us (top pic on the left), and it was their safe hiding spot when we moved three years later (middle pic on the right).

They have used and abused it every way two goofy cats can - they even intentionally mash the center down with their (now) giant bodies when we open it up for them so they can use it as a pillow. But, there's almost no wear and tear outside of the hair they've left all over it.

They don't fit in it quite the same way they used to, but they still love to nap, hide, and play in their donut four years later. Can't recommend this product enough!

Took him a minute but once he started going inside, he plays in it every day. Thank you Travel Cat!! Oliver loves his Donut Bed!!

I adopted two cats and they have different preferences. This donut cat cave provides many options for them to be comfortable or for them to enjoy when they have the zoomies. It also travels well on road trips and is a piece of home in hotels. I’m so glad I purchased this!!

It’s a great bed that they enjoy playing in as well!

I hesitated to buy this for a long time because I hate to spend money and find my cats more interested in the box it came in. Literally 3 seconds after I tossed the box aside and zipped this baby up my cat Moose was ALL ABOUT THE DONUT. He even let his little sister try it out. They both love it!! It’s big enough for my 13 lb cat Moose to roll around inside, and my little 6 lb cat loves to curl up on top and race laps inside. They both fit inside at the same time. I’m hopeful the felt will hold up over time because these two can really shred, but so far they love their donut!

My kitten loves this donut. It chases around her toys in there until she is completely powered out. It‘s a great self driven merry go round that also serves as a secluded hiding/ sleeping spot. The donut is made of very robust material of a sturdy build. So no issues with the frequent scratchcapades.

We’ve had our donut for about a month, and both of our cats love it! They’re both big kitties so I was concerned whether they would fit, but it’s no problem for either of them. It’s a very sturdy felt that they love to claw at and knead, and the zipper is heavy duty and easy to zip/unzip. Great quality and so far it’s worth the price.

Both my bengals have been using the donut bed daily since day 1. The quality is really good and it’s large enough for my big 6kg boy.

I was pretty sure our cats would like, even love this hideaway cave, as one loves lurking in the shadows and the other prefers to nestle into higher spots.

I did not anticipate the cats losing their minds at first sight: hiding, chasing, jumping, ducking into the donut hole, and literally “doing donuts” hanging from the inside ceiling of the tunnel and spinning round and round.

Especially fun for more than one cat, as you can see in the video!

Highly recommended!!!

I have one cat that loves to "perch" and she loves the top; my other cats loves tunnels and hideaways and he loves the inside to play and hide. The inside is big enough for my larger 16lb cat, and the top is very comfortable for my 11lb long-haired cat. It is very sturdy for them to jump on and play over. LOVE IT!

My cat can be incredible specific about what he likes to lay on and sleep in. After going through at least a dozen cat beds/caves over the 6 years I’ve had my little guy, finally I’ve found something he uses consistently. He loves to bask in the sun in the little crevice in the day, and hide in his little hole in the evenings. To top it off, this thing is definitely quality, very sturdy. Well worth the slightly higher price point.

I was still zipping the sides together when my cat jumped into this donut. He loves playing, sleeping and sitting in and on top of it. Super easy to clean since you can take it apart. Best pet bed I've ever bought for sure.

Both our sphynx love this donut. They enjoy chasing each other through the tunnel and even sleeping on top and inside. Super durable and sturdy.

Very well built item. Some cats will sleep on the top some will play inside. Not going to destroy this cat toy easily. Very tough material and has a durable quality.

I have a tripod who is very sassy and too good for everything lol, and my other has brain damage and is deaf. They both were not interested in the donut after the initial New Toy Phase (1 hour) but i left it in the room they frequent and periodically put treats in it. 1 month after it arrived they both started sleeping and playing in it. The younger one with the brain damage runs round and round inside it chasing her toy. Its aesthetically pleasing and very well-built. Because you can unzip it it's easy to clean I use a rubber glove to take all the fur off. I wish it was a bit cheaper so I could buy one for all my cat lovers. Im trying to leave a picture but it won't let me... Hopefully my short video loads...

Shipping didn’t take too long. The donut was super easy to setup. The cats loved it right away and still love it! I might need to get a second one.
