Since felines spend up to eighteen hours daily asleep, where they sleep is important. Find out why your kitty needs a cat bed.
First, you won't have to share your bed with your pet. Cats tend to seek warm, cozy spots and sleeping with you is often their first choice. If you have allergy issues, this may prove to be uncomfortable for you. Since felines are nocturnal, you may not appreciate a cat pouncing on your head or belly and waking you up. And then there are those mysterious scratches on you that you don't remember getting since you were probably snoozing when a certain someone decided to use your body as a launching pad.
Keeping your bedding clean is also something to consider. Even though kitties are clean animals, they still shed fur. Worse yet, you may awaken to the sound of retching necessitating an eviction from your bed before a hairball is left behind.
You probably do not want your baby using your upholstered furniture as a bed, either. Nothing is worse than having an honored guest get up from your couch covered in hair, especially if that particular person doesn't share your love for kitties. Or, you don't want your kitty to yowl at or jump on your guest because they are in his or her favorite snoozing spot.
Some beds have features like heated pads, egg-crate mattresses or gel padding that can help improve movement for elderly or disabled animals. Or, if you have a cold, drafty residence, a heated model can keep your animal more comfortable. Others are integrated into cat furniture that can offer perches, scratching posts, and attached toys in addition to the sleeping quarters.
Cats love to feel safe and secure. A bed will give your kitty a place of his or her own that can keep the world or at least that nuisance dog away. If you position the bed up high, kitty can keep a look out for approaching danger. Or, you could put it in front of a window so that snoozing and viewing the great outdoors are possible.
You can also find models that will lend to your decor. For example, you might find a four poster bed that matches your four poster bed or one that is uniquely designed that proves to be a conversation piece.
By getting your kitty a cat bed, your feline will be comfortable, and you will get your sleeping quarters back.
