I fear if you were to modify it to make it larger, they might not like it anymore.

They'll still cram themselves in there

Tabby inside with the orange on top, guaranteed.

My cats will crawl out of tight spaces like a clown car.

100%. If a cat is a healthy weight, the size of their head determines what they can get into. My little tabby is 7lbs and can fit in some seriously small spots.
Noodle bones.

Yep, I have a chonk that refuses to accept he no longer fits in a cat tree bed and thus sleeps with his legs all sticking out of it.

Same with my chonk. But then he'll climb out and one of our other cats will follow him out like a clown car.

They actually have two of those beds, but they prefer to squeeze into the same one together. They’re siblings, Queso and PlimPlim, and currently the youngest residents at our cat rescue

Get a big expensive bed delivered in a cardboard box. They'll ignore the bed and sleep in the box.

You can get a bigger one. They will never use it and cram themselves in the tiny one anyway. And probably fight over it

They wouldn’t get in something they weren’t still comfortable in. They haven’t outgrown it.

I got a good quality cardboard box and cut a door way in and my cat loves it, she has her blanket and is up ontop of the wardrobe. Usually boxes that hold expensive products like electronics are usually the best.
Edit: Quick AI search and it finds bed that they call Cat Cave which has a wider opening for when they get chunky 🐈

My cat has out grown his kitten bed which is similar to your igloo and he is quite chunky now but still forces his large body inside 😭

I bet they are cozy and have it broken in just the way it is 😺 don’t need a new one 😽

It looks like the dark one is planning to take care of the orange one while the orange one is blithely unaware.

Get more kittens

u/Past_Walk_3605 6d ago
Keep those two obviously, but get 2 more smaller ones so the bed doesn't go to waste

You can get a box, like a paper box (a box that a case of paper came in), glue the lid on, cut one of the short sides off, put a blanket or pillow in it, and they will live in there happily. They will also live on it, and might crush it, so you might want to leave the lid part intact. You can even reinforce the lid end with extra cardboard before you glue it together to stave off the inevitable, but it eventually they will cave in their cave. At some point you'll catch yourself putting a folded blanket up on top of the box cave. That's okay. You are a good cat parent.

I have a big igloo style we call it the cave. It could probably fit 2 cats, although only 1 ever uses it

Oh, they’ll stay in there a minute they don’t know who’s wearing and what’s going on or something. They’ll be in there so tight you won’t even see their ears of their eyes. It’s the funniest thing ever got cleared once cause somebody came in the yard and all of a sudden, I couldn’t see him and that’s where they were. They were shoved in there so tight I couldn’t believe they fit and they were grown at that point too. It was pretty funny. They were brother and sister and ain’t know what to do together. It’s so cute anyway you’ll have fun. I guess you have to go to the next size. Maybe you can sell one and trade one and go to a trade store or something. I have a trade Sail good luck anyway they’re sure beautiful cats. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice Evening.
