A Handwoven Wicker Cat Basket with a Removable Washable Cotton Cushion

Key Features

• Handwoven wicker construction — each basket is woven from natural vine and cat tail grass by hand; the woven structure provides a firm, stable form that holds its shape and provides natural airflow through the sides during warmer months
• 100% cotton removable cushion — the included cushion is made from pure cotton; it can be removed from the basket and washed separately, keeping the sleeping surface clean without needing to wash the woven basket itself
• Natural material character — as a handwoven natural product, each basket has slight variation in weave pattern, colour tone, and surface texture; this is inherent to the handmade process and part of what makes each piece individual
• All-season use — the open woven sides allow airflow in summer while the cotton cushion provides insulation in cooler months; a bed format that does not need to be swapped seasonally
• Three sizes — 35 cm, 40 cm, and 46 cm diameter; sized to suit kittens through to medium cats
• No high-concern chemicals — natural materials throughout, pet-safe

Designed For

• Cats that prefer a firm, textured base over a soft foam or plush surface; the woven wicker rim and base provide natural resistance that many cats enjoy pressing their paws against
• Homeowners who want a pet bed made from natural, non-synthetic materials that fits into a natural, Scandi, or botanical interior without visual disruption
• All-season household use where a single bed needs to work in both warm and cool conditions without overheating or being too cold
• Pet owners who prioritise easy maintenance — the removable cotton cushion washes separately from the basket, making regular cleaning straightforward
• Kittens and cats up to medium size that suit a contained round basket format

Why Choose This

Most cat beds are made from synthetic fabrics — plush, fleece, polyester. A handwoven wicker basket with a cotton cushion is a different category of object: it is made from natural materials, produced by hand, and has the kind of material honesty that synthetic alternatives cannot replicate. The woven structure provides airflow that enclosed fabric beds cannot, which matters during warmer months when plush beds can become uncomfortably warm. The removable cotton cushion gives the bed its softness and warmth for winter use, and washes cleanly and repeatedly without degrading the way synthetic fillings often do. The result is a bed that works across seasons, suits natural interiors, and ages gracefully rather than pilling or losing its shape.

Size Guide

If your cat prefers to curl tightly, the smaller size will feel more enclosed and secure. If your cat tends to spread out, choose the larger size. As a handwoven product, actual dimensions may vary slightly from stated measurements.

FAQ

Q: Can the wicker basket itself be washed?
A: The woven basket is not designed for machine washing. Wipe the exterior with a dry or lightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris. The removable cotton cushion is designed for separate washing — refer to the cushion care label for cycle and temperature recommendations.

Q: Is the natural weave safe for cats that like to chew or scratch surfaces?
A: The natural woven material is non-toxic and pet-safe. Light scratching of the wicker rim is normal behaviour and will not affect the structural integrity of the basket. Cats that actively chew and ingest woven fibres should be supervised.

Q: My cat is between sizes. Which should I choose?
A: If your cat tends to curl tightly when sleeping, the smaller size will feel more enclosed. If your cat sprawls or stretches out, choose the larger size. The L (46 cm) is the most versatile option for medium cats.

Q: Will my cat use a wicker basket?
A: Many cats are drawn to wicker and natural woven materials — the texture, the slight natural scent, and the firm base are all things cats interact with positively. Placing the basket in a location the cat already uses and adding a familiar scent to the cushion will help encourage adoption.

Q: The basket arrived slightly misshapen from transit. Is this normal?
A: Natural woven products can compress slightly during shipping. Gently reshape the basket by hand and allow it to air in a dry, well-ventilated space for a few hours; it will typically return to its original form.
