Handwoven Cotton Rope Cat Basket | Cat Ear Handles | Ball Toy Included | 3 Sizes
A Handwoven Cotton Rope Cat Basket with Cat Ear Handles and Hanging Ball Toy
Key Features
- Handwoven cotton rope construction — each basket is woven by hand from soft cotton rope; the open weave structure provides natural airflow through the sides during warmer months while the cotton material retains warmth when the cat is resting inside
- Cat ear handles — two shaped handles at the basket rim that reference cat ear silhouettes; functional for carrying and repositioning the basket, and a distinctive design detail that gives the basket its character
- Hanging ball toy — a rope ball suspended from the basket rim provides an interactive element; cats can bat and play with the ball while resting in or near the basket, encouraging adoption of the basket as a regular activity and sleeping space
- Cotton cushion base — a soft cotton cushion sits inside the basket base to provide a warm, comfortable resting surface; breathable, skin-friendly, and suitable for year-round use
- Four colour options — Caramel, Light Brown, Grey, and Dark Green; all in natural, earthy tones that integrate well into Scandi, botanical, and neutral home interiors
- Three sizes — 35 cm, 40 cm, and 46 cm diameter, rated by maximum cat weight
- No high-concern chemicals — pet-safe materials throughout
Designed For
- Cats that prefer an open, breathable sleeping surface rather than an enclosed cave or dome; the open basket sides allow airflow and visibility while the cotton base provides comfort
- Pet owners who want a cat bed made from natural, non-synthetic materials that looks at home alongside wicker, rattan, and natural textile furnishings
- Kittens and cats up to medium size (up to approx. 10 kg in the largest size)
- Indoor use in living rooms, bedrooms, and home offices where the basket can sit visibly as a decorative object alongside other natural-material accessories
Why Choose This
A handwoven cotton rope basket occupies a different aesthetic category from synthetic plush or fleece beds. Cotton rope has the natural material honesty of wicker or rattan but with a softer, more textile character that many cats find easier to settle into. The cat ear handles are functional as well as decorative — they make it easy to pick up and move the basket without disturbing a sleeping cat by gripping from below. The hanging ball toy creates an association between the basket and play, which encourages cats to spend time at and in the basket before they have fully adopted it as a sleeping space.
Size Guide
| Size | Basket Diameter | Max. Cat Weight | Best Suited For |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 35cm (13.8in) | up to 4 kg | Kittens and small cats |
| M | 40cm (15.7in) | up to 7.5 kg | Medium cats |
| L | 46cm (18.1in) | up to 10 kg | Larger cats and cats that like to sprawl |
If your cat likes to curl up tightly, the smaller size will feel more enclosed and secure. If your cat sprawls or stretches, choose the larger size.

FAQ
Q: Can the basket be machine washed?
A: Hand wash only. The cotton rope weave can distort in a machine wash cycle. Wash the basket by hand in cool water with a mild detergent, reshape by hand, and air dry fully before returning to use. The cotton cushion inside can be removed and washed separately according to its care label.
Q: Will the cat ear handles hold the weight of the basket with a cat inside?
A: The ear handles are designed for repositioning an empty basket, not for carrying a cat inside it. Move the basket when the cat is not inside to avoid stressing the handle attachment points.
Q: Is the hanging ball toy safe for unsupervised play?
A: The ball toy is attached to the basket rim for interactive play around the basket. As with any rope toy, inspect the attachment periodically and remove if the rope shows significant fraying.
Q: Will my cat use an open basket rather than an enclosed bed?
A: Cats that are comfortable in open spaces — sleeping on sofas, armchairs, or window sills — tend to adopt open baskets readily. Place the basket in a location the cat already uses and add a familiar scent to the cushion to speed up adoption.
Q: Is the dark green colour a strong or subtle tone?
A: Dark Green is a deep, muted tone consistent with the natural dye palette of cotton rope. It works particularly well in botanical, plant-filled, and Scandi interiors where earthy greens are already present in the colour scheme.
