(15,038 posts)My cats wake me up enough -- on purpose by all available evidence -- that I don't need to make it easier for them by putting a human-inaccesible playground twelve inches directly below my sleeping body. Save it for living rooms and other places where humans are mostly awake.

(152 posts)I have a couple of cats, and in no time there would be a couple more under the bed with all the shedding. Between dogs and cats, its already a jungle under the bed.

(34,139 posts)Though, actually some of the cat scratch things have replaceable cardboard inserts. so that is doable.

Or just keep the packaging and fold it up as replacements. IKEA could plan on that as part of the flat pack!

(15,392 posts)Mattress on a framework of drawers with a storage space down the middle. My ferrets loved it. They could open the door to the storage space which gave them access to the backs of the drawers which they then could crawl into and sleep amongst my socks.

Probably not so much.
Giving cats a place to hide that's really difficult for you to access as an owner ... turns out to be a drag in a variety of scenarios.
And then there's the sleeping part.
Might as well wrap all your bedposts with carpet.

(21,646 posts)May be if you started with a kitten it could be trained more I guess to go in all the time but even in the picture the cat is on the top of the bed
One could keep a pair of bedroom slippers off the floor in those holes I suppose

(50,567 posts)I have had several cats over the years that would have seen that bed as the perfect kitty latrine.

(15,812 posts)Not our forever bed frame but it was a good price (free). Its modern but heavy and has drawers on the side. Its basically a box like the one shown in the OP.
There is just enough space on one corner - we use a futon mattress- for our cat to slip in. She cant go far but she can go far enough to drive us completely nuts. She goes in there and meows. Even though she can get out.
Would not want her to play too.
