Vintage Suitcase Cat Bed

I love our cats.
And I really love old suitcases... a lot.
What better way to justify yet another old suitcase purchase, but to turn it in to a cat bed!!
This suitcase I scooped up at a garage sale for $6 and the legs I found at a thrift store for $1 each.

You will need:

  • Old suitcase, hard sided
  • 4  couch or chair legs with internal bolts 
  • Nuts and washers
  • Foam
  • Fabric



1. Remove the top of the suit case, sometimes breaking the hinge can be hard, we used a hammer.
2. Drill a hole in each corner of suit case for the legs. Secure with nuts and washers
3. Line the sides of suitcase with the fabric (we used spray adhesive)
4. Cut the fabric to fit, we just tucked the fabric very tightly under the foam, so it would be removable and washable.

If you don't want to buy foam, or reline the sides of the case, just toss a pillow in that your cats already love in there!
