Replacement Bowl Nest for Cat Trees, Plush 37 cm Cradle

The posts and platforms on a cat tree can last for years, but the hammock usually wears out first. Once it's flattened, torn or matted with fur, the whole tower starts to look tired, and your cat may stop using its favorite sleeping spot. This replacement bowl nest fixes the problem without a new tree. It's a deep, round cradle covered in soft gray plush, with a mounting tab on one side that attaches to a cat tree platform, a top perch or a frame you've built yourself.

A Bowl, Not a Sling

Flat hammocks leave a cat lying on an open surface. This nest is shaped as a curved basin about 12.7 cm (5 in) deep, with a gathered rim that rises on every side. Your cat can curl into the center, tuck its nose under its tail and rest its chin on the soft edge. The rim's gathered construction helps the bowl keep its rounded shape instead of flattening under your cat's weight.

Plush covers the entire nest, including the inner basin, the rim and the outside wall, so there's no rough backing or hard seam where your cat lies.

Signs Your Old Hammock Needs Replacing

• The fabric sags so far that your cat sinks to the bottom.
• Seams have split or the stitching is coming loose.
• The plush is matted, thin or no longer cleans up well.
• Your cat has stopped napping there and sleeps somewhere else.

Will It Fit Your Tree?

The nest attaches through a single extended tab with a punched fixing hole. Before ordering, check that your cat tree, tower or DIY frame has a spot where a screw or bolt can pass through that hole, such as the top of a post, the underside of a platform or a perch bracket. Compare the bowl's width with the space between your posts so it sits without crowding other levels.

For DIY Builders

If you're building your own climbing frame or adding levels to a floor-to-ceiling post, this nest gives you a finished sleeping spot without sewing or upholstering one. In homes with more than one cat, you can mount several at different heights so every cat gets its own perch.

Cleaning Made Simpler

Because the nest is held on by its tab rather than built into the tower, you can unscrew it, shake out loose fur and freshen it up, then fit it back in place. For tips on keeping the rest of the tower clean, see our guide on how to clean a cat tree.
