If your cat insists on sleeping in random cardboard boxes instead of the bed you paid real money for, congratulations, you’re owned by a cat. But what if that plain old box looked like it came from a fashion studio in London? Welcome to the world of DIY Purrberry Cat Bed, a stylish, tongue-in-cheek project that turns your leftover delivery box into a designer-grade nap zone.
This easy DIY combines humor, fashion, and feline entitlement in equal measure. It’s sustainable, budget-friendly, and gives your home a dash of couture chaos. Let’s build your cat’s next favorite piece of furniture.
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
You’ll need just a few things to make your Purrberry bed worthy of an influencer cat photo shoot:
- One medium cardboard box — sturdy enough to survive a few claw marks.
- British luxury-inspired plaid wrapping paper or textile — beige, red, and black, the pattern of timeless class.
- A glue gun or strong craft glue — your new best friend.
- Scissors — to make things “designerly precise.”
- Soft cushion or small pillow — because luxury needs comfort.
Optional but recommended: a steady playlist and a disinterested cat watching you with silent judgment.
Step 2: Dress the Box in Purrberry Style
Now comes the transformation. Lay your box flat and measure the plaid paper. Cut clean panels that fit each side. Apply glue evenly and smooth the paper to remove bubbles — we’re going for couture crisp, not crumpled chic.
Cover every visible surface except the front entrance. If you’re using textile instead of paper, wrap it like you’re making a luxury gift your cat will immediately ignore.
For an extra touch, print or draw a Purrberry logo and glue it above the entrance. Subtle parody branding never hurts a cat empire.
Step 3: Add the Cushion
Slide in a soft beige cushion or mini pillow that fits snugly into the box. The goal: make it look like a designer brand lounge rather than a shipping container. You can even reuse an old sweater or fleece blanket, sustainable and cozy.
Once it’s inside, press down gently to settle it. Congratulations, you’ve reached peak feline comfort engineering.
Step 4: Add the Cat (The Most Unpredictable Step)
Here’s where all your hard work meets feline indifference. Place your newly finished Purrberry Cat Bed somewhere with good light, cats love a warm sunbeam almost as much as they love ignoring you.
Wait a few minutes. Maybe toss in a treat. Eventually, curiosity (or ego) will win, and your cat will climb in as if it’s always been their personal designer suite.
Snap a photo, tag Mad Cat Cartel, and join the feline fashion underground.
Bonus Tip: Match Your Cat’s Style
If you enjoyed this project, try matching your DIY décor with your cat’s true personality.
Posh cat types will fall in love with Louis Mewtton, Mewcci, or the refined elegance of Hermèws. Streetwear rebels will vibe with Spurreme, Pawlenciaga, Paw Angels, or the underground edge of Off-Whisker.
And if your cat’s more into action than attitude, explore the sporty spirit of Adicats or Meowke.
Because every feline deserves a corner of the house that reflects their personal aesthetic, dramatic, bold, or unapologetically designer.
