Cat nests can be made of small wooden boxes, baskets, rattan baskets, plastic basins, and cardboard boxes. The inside, outside and edges of the cat's nest must be smooth and free of sharp and hard objects to avoid damaging the cat's skin. Cat nests are best made of plastic, wood, or rattan, which are easy to clean and disinfect.

These loose materials are easy for cats to bury with their paws after defecation.
