Japanese Cat Owners Turn IKEA Doll Beds Into Adorable Cat Beds

Some clever Japanese cat owners have re-purposed a simple but popular doll bed from IKEA, turning it into an adorable bed for their cats and other pets.

The $20 Duktig is officially a toy bed for children’s dolls, but it also seems to have become IKEA’s first foray into the pet furniture market. Incidentally, the slot at either end of the bed is an excellent feature for cats – it lets them stick their tails out if they want to relax.

The bed’s uses have expanded beyond cats too – some rabbits and dogs have taken well to the bed, and some pet owners have even turned them into bunk beds!

I joined Bored Panda as an image editor back in 2014, during its early stages. It's been quite a journey since then! Over time, I transitioned through different roles until I eventually became the Content Lead. In this position, I now oversee the creation of the viral content published here on Bored Panda. While my primary focus lies in raising awareness about important social issues like gender and race equality, as well as mental health topics, I also enjoy sharing lighter content, such as memes, cat images and intriguing world curiosities. Outside of work, you'll likely find me engaged in one of five activities: planning a vacation, browsing thrift stores, experimenting in the kitchen, watching movies, or spending quality time with my two cats.
