I wanna Cat Bed

Scorchio

Looking to buy a warm comfy bed for my lovely cat.
Would like one with 'sides' if that makes sense - rather than just a big cushion.

Any recommendations?
Thanks

I have only one recommendation - don't bother! I have two cats and neither sleep in either of the two cat beds they have. Cats will sleep where they want, usually on your bed.

Cheers,
Stephen

I agree ha ha - our cat doesn't use his bed either.

Altough we have got a like fleecey thing and he sits on that whilst watching TV.

I thought that to - our last cat sneered at the bed we got her and decided that she would much rather sleep on my bed. However our new cat seems to like being curled up somewhere saoft- preferably with sides. We have had her a month and I was determined not to buy her a bed unless I thought she really would use it. At the moment she she sleeping (sometimes) in a cardboard box padded with blankets.

So - I am going to buy her a bed, if she doesn't use it, well - that's cats for you and the local sanctuary is always grateful to receive beds, blankets etc.

I brought a cat bed for my bed - sniffed at it and walked away. They prefer the cardboard box closed up with a big circle hole (like crisp boxes in shops) in the shed as their beds... or my bed if they are inside.

Cheecky beggers!

When our cat was a wee little kitten I saw a beautiful willow basket with a cushion at a pet store - I almost died of shock as it was £100. I took myself to Dunelm and bought a huge circular basket with handles and a piece of fluffy fleece for the inside - cost me about £14 in total. He outgrew the basket after several months but he still loves the cushion and regularly sleeps there.

I bought my cat a bed from wilkinsons, really cheap and looked lovely sadly he wouldnt entertain it, then i tried him with a cat iglo from asda, they sell them in wilkinsons also quite cheap but he wouldnt use that either , so he now sleeps on my bed or on the pc chair...lol

Don't think you can beat a cardboard box with an old jumper in the bottom. Just tell the cat he can't go in it. Cat will definately always be found in there!

The only one my cat has ever slept in is a lined wicker basket I bought from teh 99p shop, got her another one today as the old one was a bit manky!
most of the tim she sleeps on the radiator tho

I bought my cat his bed in Argos & it's one of the cosy igloo types. It took him a couple of weeks to sniff it out & decide that yes it was a perfect regular sleeping place.

When the weather turns warm he doesn't go inside the 'igloo' any more, but squashes down the top to make it a nice doughnut shape to snuggle into. I know winter is coming to an end once he does this.

I have 2 cats that sleep in an unheated conservatory and they both sleep in "igloos". 3rd cat sleeps on our bed (despite having her own igloo!)and BIG cat sleeps in the living room on a special igloo that squashes down to become a basket. Wilkinsons igloos are cheap and mine had previously favoured cardboard boxes!
