A Good Use for Vintage Suitcases

How many of you have packed for a trip and had your pet curl up in your suitcase? I know my cats are obsessed with my suitcase before and after a trip! Pets, especially cats, LOVE suitcases, so kudos to the clever person who came up with the idea of turning vintage suitcases into pet beds!
I have a number of vintage suitcases around my house, and I'm inspired to try this with one of them! In the meantime, I picked out some of my favorites from talented people on ETSY.

    I wonder what keeps the lid from slamming down on top of the kitty?

    KT, I had the same thought but I'm sure they are secured somehow. I like the idea of splitting the suitcase and making two beds, but that would devalue the suitcase. I have an old green leather suitcase that will be good to try this with -- now to pick out fabric!
