The Meowfia Felt Cat Cave earned the top spot on our list because it is made with all-natural wool that provides temperature regulation and has odor-controlling antimicrobial properties. It’s also soft but durable and can withstand heavy use and abuse for many years. There’s no pillowed cushion, but cats generally don’t seem to mind. On the other end of the spectrum, the Lesure Sherpa Cat Cube has a structured cube shape covered in soft sherpa fabric.

The MintCat 2-Pack Hanging Interactive Cat Toy comes in as our best overall pick because it has an accessible price, doesn’t require a power source, and is designed for self-play.
