Cat Beds

Beds for cats are of interest to all cat owners who want to offer their velvet paw a comfortable, safe and readily accepted sleeping place. Cats sleep many hours every day, and a lying place of their own is one of the most important things for their wellbeing. This collection is suitable for cats of every age, from the playful young cat through the adult house cat to the calm senior who appreciates a particularly soft and warm place.

What is a cat bed good for? It gives your cat a fixed place where they feel safe and can rest undisturbed. Cats are creatures of habit and appreciate a familiar place that belongs to them. A good bed offers warmth, security and a pleasant lying surface. In a household with several residents or other animals in particular, a retreat of their own is valuable because it allows the cat rest and distance. A comfortable bed can also help prevent the cat from constantly moving onto the humans' sofa or bed.

What exactly are owners looking for? It is important that the bed suits the cat's preferred way of sleeping. Many cats love to snuggle in and curl up, which is why beds with raised edges or with a cosy surround are particularly popular. Other cats prefer to lie flat and stretched out. The size should be chosen so that the cat can curl up comfortably but also stretch out. Owners also look for soft, pleasant materials and easy cleaning.

Among the materials, soft, warm fabrics such as plush, fleece and cosy weaves dominate, which cats take to particularly readily. A stable, dimensionally solid construction is important so that the bed does not slip when the cat jumps in. High-quality models have removable, washable covers or washable inner cushions, which makes hygiene easier. Because cats are very sensitive to smell, the materials should be odour-neutral so that the bed is well accepted.

What should you consider before buying? First observe where and how your cat likes to sleep. Do they prefer raised places, sheltered corners or warm, soft surfaces? These preferences give clues about the right shape of bed. A bed with a rim and a cosy surround suits cats seeking security, while a flat lying surface suits cats that like to spread out. Pay attention to the size and to the cover being easy to wash, because cat hair and dirt can then be removed without difficulty.

Also bear the location in mind. Cats like quiet, somewhat raised or sheltered places from which they can keep an eye on their surroundings. A bed in a draught-free, warm spot is usually better accepted than one in a busy location. If your cat likes to watch, a place near a window can be ideal.

Give your cat some time to accept a new bed. Some cats need a few days before they accept a new lying place. A familiar smell, for example from a blanket already in use, can make the move easier. With a high-quality, well-placed bed you create a place for your cat where they feel safe and secure and can fully enjoy their many hours of rest.

Give your cat some time to accept the new bed. Cats are choosy and first inspect a new place thoroughly. Put the bed in a spot your cat likes to visit anyway and, if needed, place a familiar blanket inside. A slightly raised, quiet location is often particularly appreciated. With a little patience the bed quickly becomes the preferred sleeping place where your cat feels safe and secure.
