Majestic Pet Crate Pad Mat Breathable Comfortable Dog Bed for Crate Machine Washable Charcoal 48"

I was a pleasantly surprised to find that this bed was a dark silver because there were a few reviews that said that it was an off brown color. Since the two main cats that I bought these for are the color black and the other is gray. I will add a couple of photos (that aren't that great). In fact, the gray cat is the same color as the bed. He weighs 17 lbs and he fits fine in the XS. I ordered all three in extra small (XS) and they are perfect for his size. I think these would be good in a crate for traveling. Hardly any stuffing to chew up. It isn't very cushioned, although the sides are stuffed with some sort of fiber fill.I use them for throwing on a couple of pillows and they both think they are great. I felt bad for one of the two outdoor cats we have and I put one on top of his blanket outside. He and his brother have decided they needed to sleep together and share the great bed they found. They both seem happy to have a new sleeping pad. Every morning when I wake up all three of these cats are sleeping on their own individual bed. The main reason I bought these, besides the low price, was because of the material they are made out of and the way the animal hair just basically wipes out of them or vacuums out. They like the fleece (fake wool) in the winter time, but once they are covered with fur the are covered for good. I hope that if you want gray that it is the color you receive. Good luck.
