A round mesh hammock stretched over a raised frame. The mesh sits clear of the floor, so air moves underneath it.
That airflow is what makes this a summer bed. A cat lying on a padded bed in an Australian summer is lying on insulation; a cat lying on suspended mesh is not. It also keeps them off a floor that may be damp or dusty, which is why the same design turns up on verandahs.
Options
Available in grey, pink and blue, with or without a hanging feather toy.
Bed surface is approximately 45 × 20cm. We are confirming the frame height with the manufacturer before publishing it.
Before you order
Mesh suits cats that lie flat. Cats that knead heavily or that like to burrow into something soft tend to prefer a padded bed, and may ignore this one entirely.
If you have a cat that scratches at bedding, check the mesh regularly — a snagged panel loses tension and stops sitting flat.

Mesh, raised off the floor, with air moving under it
A round mesh hammock on a raised frame. The airflow underneath is the entire point, which also tells you which half of the year it is for.
The airflow
Off the floor, air underneath
A cat lying on a padded bed in an Australian summer is lying on insulation. A cat on suspended mesh is not — air moves under the whole surface. It is the same reasoning behind raised beds on verandahs.
Suspended mesh over a raised frame
The height
Off a floor that may be damp
Being clear of the ground keeps a cat off a floor that is dusty, cold or damp. Useful indoors in summer and on a covered verandah year-round.
Raised frame · approx. 45 × 20 cm bed surface
The options
Three colours, feather or not
Grey, pink and blue, each with or without a hanging feather toy. If your cat is the sort to dismantle a dangling toy, take the version without it.
Six configurationsWho this one suits, and who it doesn't
We would rather talk you out of the wrong bed than sell it to you. Both lists below are honest.
Take this one if
- Hot months and warm rooms
- Cats that lie flat rather than burrow
- Covered verandahs and dusty floors
Look elsewhere if
- Cats that knead heavily or burrow into something soft — they tend to ignore mesh entirely
- Winter, unless the room is warm
- Cats that scratch at bedding. A snagged panel loses tension and stops sitting flat

Questions we get about the Perch
Specific to this one, not the range. If yours is not here, ask.
Thirty days from delivery to change your mind, on an unused bed in its packaging — you cover the return freight, which on a bed this bulky is usually $25 to $60.
If it turns up faulty, damaged or not what you ordered, that is different: we cover everything, freight included. Your consumer guarantees under Australian law apply whatever this or any other page says.
Will my cat take to mesh?
Mesh suits cats that lie flat. Cats that knead heavily or like to burrow into something soft usually prefer a padded bed and may ignore this one completely. If yours kneads a blanket every night, take The Pillow instead.
Is it a year-round bed?
Not really. The airflow that makes it good in summer makes it cold in winter, unless the room is warm. Plenty of households use it seasonally alongside a padded bed.
How tall is the frame?
We are confirming that with the manufacturer and will publish it here. We publish the bed surface at approximately 45 × 20 cm because that figure we have.
What if the mesh snags?
Check it regularly if your cat scratches at bedding. A snagged panel loses tension and stops sitting flat, which is the point at which a cat stops using it.
