Product Information
Full details
The Little Petface Cat Igloo is designed for cat owners seeking a secure, den-like sleeping environment that provides warmth and comfort for their pets. It is an ideal choice for skittish or comfort-seeking cats who prefer enclosed spaces to relax, though the soft-sided structure may not suit cats who prefer rigid, orthopaedic-style beds.

FAQs
Is the cushion removable?
Yes, the internal cushion is removable, making it easier to wash separately or to shake off loose cat hair.
Can I tumble dry the bed?
It is recommended to air dry the igloo to prevent the material from shrinking or losing its shape, though you should check the care label on your specific unit.
What is the maximum weight capacity?
While there is no strict weight limit, the igloo is designed for average-sized cats; large or heavy breeds may find the entrance too small or the structure unstable.
Is it suitable for kittens?
Yes, its cozy and enclosed nature makes it an excellent choice for kittens who need extra warmth and comfort.
Does it have a non-slip base?
The bed is designed for indoor use on carpets or rugs, but it is best to place it in a corner to prevent sliding.
Troubleshooting
The igloo roof is sagging
Ensure the internal padding is correctly positioned to support the walls; if it remains flat, gently re-mold the fabric panels by hand.
Cat refuses to go inside
Try placing a piece of the cat's favorite blanket or a small amount of catnip inside to make the space feel more familiar and inviting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the bed involves simply pulling the igloo into its upright shape and placing the included cushion securely inside. It is compatible with most small to medium-sized cats. For care, it is recommended to wash on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees Celsius. Always ensure the bed is completely dry before returning it to your cat, and avoid using harsh detergents that may irritate a pet's sensitive sense of smell.
