The media could not be loaded.

Tocho couldn't wait to use this. He kept trying to get in it while I was putting it together. I had to adjust a few times to get it where I wanted. My original plan is to put it in my truck for our adventures but I have yet to do that.

I originally purchased a bamboo radiator bed many years ago, from another vendor, and my cats loved it to bits. I dropped it, without cats, down a flight of stairs and cracked both ends. Thought I would search for it on Amazon and YAY, found it for half the price. As soon as I put it up on our banister both cats jumped in...kind of a tight fit for two meaty gingers. I am purchasing a second one! Very substantial and sturdy, just don't drop down a long flight of stairs! The pad is removable for washing. Designed for narrow radiators, this works well on our 1 1/2" wide banister. Models are George and Kramer. Be glad I stopped at five pics. Haha!!

Clever Cat Bed

These are unique cat beds. They're designed to be hung over a electric wall radiator but I bought them to hang from a trellis wall. They're very easy to assemble and are made from good materials. The way the pieces fit together could be improved upon though. The bamboo slats come as a single sheet glued to a fabric backing and the sheet attaches to the plastic end caps by wrapping around the outside of the end caps and sticking with velcro. I think it would be safer if the bamboo slats sat inside the end cap rather than outside the end cap because the weight of the cat can pull the bamboo away from the velcro. To make it feel safer, I used some 3/4" black velcro tape and wrapped it securely around each end so there is something more solid holding the bamboo to the end caps.

The other small issue is on either side of the top hole, a velcro tab inside the bamboo is supposed to connect the two ends of the bamboo sheet together and these velcro tabs aren't well aligned (photo). With the extra velcro tape I had used I'm not worried about these coming apart but by themselves these tabs don't seem like they'd hold well.

So if you're willing to add some extra supporting velcro tape, these are great and I really like how unique they are among all the cat beds out there, but without the extra supporting velcro tape I'm not sure I'd trust these to safely hold my fur baby.

I have seen radiator beds in photos from outside USA, This was the first I found that I felt worth importing. I am not using over a radiator, but hanging inside of a birthing pen. I did find that the Velcro was not strong enough for a heavy load, before I move more than a few inches off the ground again I will add a belt to help hold the weight. My kittens love to climb on it & play peak-a-boo. I will likely be ordering more in the future.

Perfect for cold kitties

I've got one happy kitty! The hooks are not big enough for the bed to hang off my antique radiators, but I was able to set it up standing above the radiator without too much difficulty. The sides are attached to the frame with velcro, so I just put the hooks on the radiator first, then attached the bamboo part with the opening facing the direction I wanted. I think in the summer I'll turn it around with the opening facing the window so my kitties have a comfortable place to sit while looking outside.

In SoCal we don't have radiators, we have staircase banisters and that's where I have this. I saw it advertised on a UK website a couple of years ago, but they wouldn't ship it to the US, neither would Amazon UK. Then by chance I happened to look at it again a couple of months ago and low and behold; they finally ship to the US! It arrives flattened and it's a breeze to put together. My cats love it!

I was really hoping that this would work hung over the back of my couch and it would if the couch didn't have sewn on back cushions. Bummer, but I put it elsewhere and the cats fight over it. Getting together with both sides lined up is slightly obnoxious, but I still like the design.

Cat Likes It

Our cat likes it. I don't have radiators but I wanted the bed up off the floor. I put this on the side of a bookcase. It's a bit flimsy, so I knocked it down one star. In my photo you can see on the back of the top hole where the cat's weight makes the Velcro come loose. We eventually bought a cat heating pad that you can buy from pet stores to put in it. It's just the long and narrow strip-shaped heating pad, no fuzzy mat. We put it under the mat that came with the bed. Our cat LOVES that addition for cold days.
