I made a little pillow, for the bottom, and a blanket. I pulled the bed right to the front of the crate so when she is in bed she can't get out...I make sure she goes pee/poop on her pee pad before going to bed....she usually whine if she didn't completely empty her bladder, I take her back to the pad, she pees, and then back in the crate. Lillie has NEVER pee'd or pooped in her crate. When I first got Sadie I made a pillow to fit the crate so, she had plenty of room to roam in it...she did start peeing and pooping in her crate...(Sadie was my first) so I tried the cat bed and not giving her "room to roam" and it worked fine.
Thanks for your suggestion, but I'm trying to get a visual of it. I'm thinking of one of the cat beds in the file attached.

Do you put the bed in backwards so she can't get out?
