Cat Napping

Does your beloved kitten sleep in bed with you? Then what better way to give them a gentle push out than to invest in a bed especially for them! Never before has there been such a wide range of colours and designs with which to pamper your cat, even while he or she is sleeping.

There is lots of choice in what kind of bed you can buy for your cat. There are different shapes, such as the modern-looking “igloo” or more traditional oval pillbox homes.

Designer Elizabeth Paige Smith has produced an item called the Kittypod, which is a bed and scratching post all-in-one. Bean bags are another option for relaxing. The range of colours available is as broad as your imagination. You can even get faux fur bedding for added comfort.

If DIY is more your thing, you can make your own bed for your cat. Try making a quick cat bed out of an old sweater, or you can go the crafter’s route are stock up on a few supplies for a higher quality hang-out.

The easiest way to go about it is to have a browse at the pet shop or through online stores for a style you like. Don’t forget to take into account any household allergies (your cat or your family).

When rehousing your cat, think about using a well-loved blanket to ease them into their new home. Your cat may end up embarrassed they ever slept in your daggy old bed!
