According to the brand, cat owners spend a lot of time looking for a cat's hiding spot, keeping them away from dirty spaces and cleaning cat beds. CATSOLE was developed as an aesthetically pleasing solution for humans and a comfortable, safe place for cats in the home. The design of the orb-shaped cat bed helps to satisfy a cat's natural tendency to hide in a small, dark place when alone—as many cat owners know from finding their pets nestled in corners, under beds and in boxes.
