Let sleeping cats lie... (inc. cute pics!)

There's been a few new cat owners asking about should they buy a bed for their cat(s) or not, so in order to help them make their mind up, I thought I'd show a few pics of where my Bengal kittens like to sleep - feel free to share your pics, too :j

So, first off, it is true that some cats DO like sleeping in their own bed, even if it means sharing:

But, on the other hand, on a hot day, the floor might be a better option:

Then again, there's nothing like the new cat tree to have a snooze in:

... or even the old one (which was going to be chucked away!):

    They are fab pics Friday!!!
    Our new girl Mouse loves the bed, will post pics when I can. Newton isn't fussed by it at all, he sleeps on the windowsill or the washing basket usually.

    Thanks gunsandbanjos :) I can't wait to see your pics :D

    We have a couple of beds which these two do sleep in - a large one is in "their" bedroom and the smaller one in the lounge.

    Friday has slept in them from time to time, but largely ignores them. I don't think I've ever seen Robbie or Harry in them! Just goes to show how each puss is different :rotfl:

    Hi there

    Just wanted to say that your cats are stunning! What beautiful pictures!
    My cat has 4 beds dotted around the house but prefers to sleep on a hard windowsill - just so she can be nosey and not miss anything going on outside!

    Thanks, Roxy, and welcome to the Forums :beer:
    Typical cats! We spend a fortune on them on beds, toys etc and they ignore most of them and do their own thing :rotfl:But we all love it really :D
