This is so cute. Not sure if my cats would sleep in it. They like our bed and the top of the kittie condo. I also put a blanket on top of our dresser and they take turns sleeping there.
How adorable. It would work for a smaller dog too if you didn't put the legs on it. My little cocker spaniel would probably love it. My cat would love it too.
Absolutely chic : )I found one that I though would be big enough for our Chihuahua but she spilled over the edges like a woman with a muffin top! It was too bad. She gave it a good go. I've looked for a bigger case since then but haven't found one. This is a great idea...as long as it doesn't close on them : )
The first thought that came to me was: How do you keep it from closing on your pet? Vintage could have weak springs or hinges and I would hate to permanently traumatize a cat or dog by having the lid snap shut on them. Cute idea but I would probably try to figure out a way to brace the lid open.

OMG this is so adorable. I immediately went to thrift store to find suitcases! I put "non skid" pads on the bottom of the legs. I also attached ribbbon from top to underside and up to keep the lid from closing. I have a Yorkie who loves sleeping in this (especially since I made the pillow out of bean bag stuffing!
that is so cool what a great idea ,to use those old suitcase ,s we all have at home just taking space ,wonderful idea i really would enjoy making some for my group of dogs i have 3 boys and 2 girls
