Cat Bed – Find a Cushy and Comfortable One

I don't know about your cat but our two cats love living the cushy life.

They have a cat bed in the living room right beside the fireplace, and several cat beds in the basement where they love to play.

They also have a special cat bed that is designed to fit on the cushion of a chair that we have in our living room. We noticed that they seemed to love this one particular cushy chair so we purchased this special cat bed to protect the fabric on the chair. If we have guests, we just put it away in another room.

As mentioned, we have several cat beds in our house because sometimes Sox and Louie like to share one bed and sometimes they each like to have their own space.

There are so many different types and styles of cat beds that finding one that blends well with your decor should not be too hard. You can look for colorful cat beds in fun pet prints that add a touch of whimsy to the room or you can shop for cat beds with plenty of designer elegance, instead.

Of course, your cat will be more concerned with how the bed feels than what it looks like.

Cat beds often have fleece pillows to keep them feeling cozy. We line our cat beds with a small blanket that we can easily wash every week or so.

Cat beds may be oval shaped with high sides or they may actually be completely enclosed to form a cozy nest bed.

Cats enjoy being able to snuggle up in a secure spot, which is why so many of them manage to squeeze inside sofas or other odd spots to nap.

Some nest beds are even heated to add more warmth. If you have a cat that spends time on the porch or in other chilly areas, you may want to consider providing him with one of these beds.

A cat perch, which is a padded shelf, is another popular piece of napping equipment.

Attach the cat perch to your windowsill so your cat can look out the window and dream of stalking the wild birds he sees as he naps.

When you buy a cat bed, don't be surprised if your cat ignores it completely for a while.

If he refuses to explore the bed, you may want to add a catnip toy to the bed to attract his attention.

Placing the bed in a cat friendly location will also make it more appealing to your cat.

Some cats do not care to nap in low places. Instead, if you can, position the cat bed on a platform that is a few inches off the floor.

Also, be sure the bed is not in an area that receives heavy traffic. If your cat feels as though he can never let down his guard and relax, he won't want to nap in his bed.

Since cats typically spend about 20 hours a day or more sleeping it is important that they have a cushy cat bed that they feel comfortable and secure in.
