Perhaps, but I like the convenience eBay provides.  I was real pleased
with the price I got too and well as the homemade quality.  Next time
I'm at the pet store, I should check their prices, however.

The ones I got through PetSmart are basically polyfill and aren't filled
with catnip. Hodge (the notorious biter) of course bit it, then started
chewing on it, then eating it, so I'm not sure it was the best
investment for us. On the other hand, the little oval bed he used to
fight with in the middle of the night (chewing out several chunks of
foam in the meantime), he finally discovered is for resting and
sleeping. On the very day I was going to pitch it. Interesting how that
works!
