Some months ago I ordered a beige colored XL size "kitty tent". I have 2 kittens, siblings, who are now 2-1/2 yrs old. The femail is smaller, very muscular, atheletic and very independent. The male is just a large kitty, very addicted to being snuggled, loves attention, loves his sister and is not in the least independent. They slept together nicely in the XL tent with room to spare. I live full-time in a 33ft RV so space is at a premium. This seemed to work wonderfully in keeping the kittens from sleeping on my bed which I had cut down to single sized. Now, the little girl has decided she will take her half of the XL tent out of the very middle and no, Brother, you can't sleep in here. Just me. And there is generally a scuffle, if not every night, then every other night for who sleeps inside the tent. Especially in very cold weather as I don't keep the heat very high at night. Finally, I gave in and ordered another tent, a Large this time. It seems visually quite a bit smaller that the extra large tent. And I got a chocolate brown suede one. It came today and it truly gorgeous. The big male dropped by for a snack so when he finished eating, i put him in the new tent and he looked around, sniffed then got out and wanted back outdoors - it's in mid-50's outside so they will be out there playing til nearly midnight. The little girl came in shortly after for her snack and I repeated the "introduction" to the new tent. She did same, sniffed, looked around then went back outdoors. But my assessment is that they will love it every bit as much as they love the previous one. The mystery now is - who will wind up sleeping in which tent??? There is plenty room in the new L tent for one of my kitties and room for said kitty to stretch out and sleep comfortably. But it would be a really tight fit for two cats in at same time. I do really like the rich color and the feel of the suede fabric. It came on time as scheduled, well packaged, easily opened, the included pillow fit perfectly inside. Just to help the 2 little scamps to be more accepting to the new tent, i covered the pillow inside the tent with one of their cheapo fuzzy blankets which i bought this fall for $2.50 per blanket. I read other reviews before buying the XL tent and there were quite a few that said their cats would just not sleep in the tent. My two are pretty picky about things but this tent was not a problem for them except for selfish behaviours. NOTE: the male kitty waits for the sister to leave and get a snack then he goes inside and lays down, taking up at least 3/4 of the entire interior. She returns, finds Brother inside, she sits outside and pouts for the next hour, takes a bath, then goes back to sleep. He leaves for his snack later on and she goes inside and takes over the "fort". Rinse, repeat. CATS !!! Anyway, the takeaway here is - my 2 kitties highly recommend both their tents - the XL and the L sizes. Just don't ask them to share ! UPDATE - the large male kitty came in shortly after i submitted my review above - he got his snack then got right into the new tent and made it HIS !!! and with such a smarmy look on his face. He went to sleep. The little girl just arrived, got her snack, looked up to see her brother already in the new tent. She wasn't to be outdone. She jumped onto my bed, looked into the new tent, Brother looked up, smacked her a good one on top of her head and just stared her down. Sister went "next door" to the original and much large tent she has "hogged" for weeks now and went inside. Couple of minutes, she was back outside the older tent, sat down and began to pout - see photo. What a pair of maroons. So they love the tents. Each other - not so much. I wound up putting both tents, side by side, on the foot of my bed, but there is still room for me. Once in a while, the propane goes empty in the wee hours of the morning and I hate going out to change tanks. So I wait til daylight to do so. It will get quite cold inside here. I drape a small blanket over the opening of the tent and the kitty inside remains quite warm and toasty til I get the house heat back on. Excellent product.
