How big is Cat Covey?

60 inches by 50 inches — a standard throw. The pouch at the foot end runs roughly 18 inches wide in production, deep enough for two average cats or one large cat plus your feet.

Micro Mink fleece on the outside at 280–320 GSM, with a Sherpa fleece pouch lining at 200–250 GSM and a thermal layer between for the foot well. Machine washable.

Will my cat actually use it?

Cats prefer enclosed, covered resting places — a box, a bag, a cave bed. The pouch has a deep gusset and a semi-rigid entry seam so it holds its shape instead of collapsing flat, which is what makes it read as a cave rather than a fold of fabric.

Why Do Cats Love Boxes?

Security, not comedy. Walls on three sides mean fewer directions to watch.

The stress data

Sleep is when an animal is most vulnerable. Shelter studies find that giving cats an enclosed hiding place measurably lowers stress — cats with boxes settle into a new environment faster than cats without.

Heat retention

An enclosed space traps the cat's own body heat. A box is warmer than the floor beside it for the same reason a tent is warmer than open ground.

Why the box is always too small

Compression against the walls is part of the appeal — contact on multiple sides is reassuring. "If I fits, I sits" is a description of that preference, not a joke about it.

Building a better box

The upgrade on a cardboard box is a soft-walled cave that holds its shape. Structure is the hard part: most fabric hides collapse flat, which removes the enclosure that made them appealing.

Cat Covey

A 60″ × 50″ throw with a gusseted pouch sewn into the foot end. Your feet go in at the mouth; the cat takes the nest. Micro Mink outside, Sherpa lining, and a semi-rigid entry seam so the pouch stays a cave instead of collapsing.
