Where Does Your Cat Nap? Make Him As Comfortable As Possible

Giving your pet his own snoozing area gives you the ability to take back all of the space in your house that he has taken over. 

You may even want to give him several places to call his own to keep him happy!

You’ll find a cat bed that fits your tastes, and your pets, because there are so many out there to choose from.  You’ll find a colorful cat bed in fun pet prints that will add a touch of whimsy to the room you put it in.  You’ll find designer brands to choose from as well.  You can also choose based on how the bed feels too.

Many cat beds have a pillows made of fleece to keep them warm.  They are oval shaped and have high sides or they may be completely enclosed.  Cats like to find a secure, warm spot to rest.  For many, getting into the tight warm couch cushion seems like the ideal place. 

You will find that some beds you can choose from are heated as well.  If the cat spends time on the porch or in other chilly areas, you may want to give him one of these heated beds to warm up with.

Have you purchased a great bed for your cat but he’s ignoring it?  Don’t be surprised at this.  If he just doesn’t seem interested, add a catnip toy to the bed to attract him to it.  Make sure that you place it in a cat friendly location too which will help to make it appealing to him.  Cats don’t want to nap in low places so you may want to put the bed on an end table or platform that is just a bit off the ground.  You’ll need to keep  it from being in the midst of heavy people traffic as well.  He needs to be able to relax and sleep there or he won’t want to be there.

Does your cat shed?  Place the nap mat where your cat normally sleeps and then store it when you have guests.  The cushions that are under the mat will then be hair free.

Some pets enjoy a perch.  These are padded shelves that have become very popular.  You can attach the cat perch to your windowsill so that the cat can look out the window at the birds or just bathe in the sun.

More than one cat can means more than one bed as cats are territorial and don't like sharing their beds.  You may be able to look for a kitty version of a play gym or a cat condo.  These allow several cats to nap in elevated spots.  And, the cat condo has areas where they can climb and sharpen claws. 

If your cat likes to nap on your couch cushions, giving him a bed is the ideal way to make him comfortable and provide him with a place other than your furniture to nap on!
