Anyone with cats know how much these feline critters like to hide in tight spaces, and if you're looking for something your kitty can relax in, then the [Cat Shell bed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/therapeutic-cat-bed) by [Oppo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enco-air5s) is the perfect enclosed space for them to hide away.

Instead of your cats having to crawl into random boxes that happen to be lying around your home, why not give them something comfy to settle in, while also providing that secure and enclosed feeling? This [shell-shaped pet bed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leo-bed) comes as either a single or double shell package, with the double shell allowing you to fully enclose the bed into a cave-like getaway.

These creatively private pet abodes are perfect for owners looking to give their feline friends a place to go when they're feeling the need to be alone.
