Do you have a cat that loves to stay cozy and warm. One who searches around for warm, cozy, and comfortable places to relax?
Here’s an Instructable that will stop his/her mission to search for it. I present the cozy cat bed.

Supplies

What you need:
Cardboard shoe boxes (check for size. This one is for 1yr old)
Scissors
Tape
Pool noodle of 1 inch diameter
Marker/pen

Create Design

Carefully with your marker or pen, sketch out your desired design onto your cardboard box (make sure to draw it symmetrical. (Mine turned out a little more towards the right of the notch)

Cut Out the Design

Now carefully with your scissors, cut out the design you drew in the previous step.
(Be careful not to cut your fingers) and after you’re done with the cutting, you can smoothen out the edges a little bit more and if some flaps are protruding, you can stick them together with some tape.

POOL NOODLE TIME !!!!!!!!!

Use your pool noodle to measure the edges of the bed and cut them accordingly. Then with the cut pieces, slice it till the radius so that it can fit onto the bed.

Paint Time (optional)

Now, you can paint the bed to your desired colour. This step is totally optional it is up to you whether you want to paint it or not.

Final Touches

Now, attach those pool noodles to the edges and add a cloth to the base of the bed. After all, the comfort is the sheet.
PS: my cat was sleeping so I didn’t disturb her and I couldn’t show you the cloth underneath

Voila There Is Your Complete Cat Bed
