Choosing the bed that's perfect for your cat

Everyone, including our cat, needs a relaxing and pleasant area to sleep and lounge. Our furry friends prefer a cat bed where they can feel secure, comfortable, receive a good night's sleep, and be alone whenever they choose. Cats sleep between fifteen and twenty hours a day, after all. But how do we know what cat bed they like the best?

All cat owners want their kitties to be warm, safe, and comfortable. Cats are finicky creatures and paying attention to their needs is crucial when choosing your cute cat bed. For example, cat breeds with short fur, or no fur such as Sphynx prefer a warm faux-fur bed. But for large size cats such as Maine Coon, you should consider large size cat beds as they are tall cats. Also, senior cats that have stuffed joints will benefit from self-heating cat beds for complete comfort. In this article, we will learn about the various types of cat beds so you can buy the right bed for your cat with confidence.

WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE BUYING A CAT BED

Observe their behavior:

This is one of the first things that you should consider before purchasing a bed for your cat. Look for a round bed if your cat generally likes to curl into a ball. Try a cave bed if your cat loves burrowing beneath a basket of clothing or sits under an armchair often. A cushion pet bed could be your best choice if your cat prefers to sprawl out on a windowsill or stretch on a sofa.

One of our best sellers, Miacara Anello Cat Basket continues to be our customers' favorite cat bed to purchase. Cats love curling up inside the beautiful Anello Cat Basket. This luxury bed is perfect to place on your desk or on the floor.

Consider the size of the bed:

Your cat's bed should be spacious enough for it to spread out or small enough for it to snuggle up and feel safe, depending on its sleeping preferences. If your cat prefers to lounge in the open and on the floor and find a bed that is the same length as its body (excluding the tail) about 18 to 20 inches long. If your cat loves to cuddle up, a circular bolster or cave bed with a diameter of at least 15 inches is a smart bet—but don't rule out bigger enclosed beds, which provide the security some cats desire while still allowing them to stretch out when required. A larger bed is usually ideal if your cat is a large breed, such as a British shorthair or a Maine Coon.

Make sure it’s easy to clean:

To keep your sanity, choose a machine-washable cat bed and carefully follow the care directions since even little changes in the washer or dryer can cause a cat bed to bunch or rip.

Now, let us talk about the best cat beds to get for your kitty, including heated, rounded cat beds, washable cat beds, cat caves, cat towers, and more. 

THE BEST CAT BED FOR YOUR CATS

Here are some top rated cat bed options from some of the best selling cat furniture brands:

CAT TOWER WITH SLEEPING AREA

It's not easy to find high-quality, visually attractive cat furniture. The majority of cat scratching posts, cat trees, and cat towers with beds sold at large box retailers are ugly and quickly fall apart. A cat tower is a work of art in and of itself! They usually include built-in features for cats to utilize and play in, such as ramps, tunnels, perches, and beds. If you have many cats, large cat towers are ideal since they provide varied areas for them to lie. Older cats don't play as much as younger cats; therefore, cat towers are excellent for them.

Take a look at WunderPets & Co pet boutique’s carefully selected cat furniture selection for the finest cat tower beds if you want to buy and invest in quality cat furniture that's elegant, modern and trendy.

26" D CALMING CAT BED: NANDOG CALMING PET BED

Is it common for your cat to stretch out on your bed, sofa or do nothing except lie down in the center of the floor? Have you got a big cat like a Main Coon, Norwegian Forest Cat, or Rag Doll? Then a plush sleeping mat could be the best option for your cat.

CAT CAVES

These enclosed chambers are typically cushioned to offer a comfortable sleeping surface. On the side, they usually feature a hole for entry and escape. Cat caves are an excellent option for shy cats, as the cave provides a sense of security. Some cat caves are extremely ornate and are fashioned like a cat or a panda.

In conclusion, what is a good bed for cats? Do cats prefer round beds? For a first time cat owner, there are hundreds of different cat beds to choose from which can make the selection process quite overwhelming. Make the right choice by studying your cat’s sleeping positions, size, and warmth preference. Buy a couple of beds and place them around the house.
