Cats often choose sleeping places based on warmth, security, height and household activity.
Offer more than one option
Many cats use different sleeping spots throughout the day. Provide a mix of open beds, sheltered spots and elevated resting places where safe.
Choose a quiet location
A bed next to a noisy appliance or busy walkway may be ignored even if the bed itself is comfortable.
Respect temperature preferences
Some cats seek warm sunny spots while others prefer cooler areas.
Use washable materials
Removable, washable covers make it easier to keep resting areas clean.
Do not force a cat into a new bed. Familiar bedding can make it more inviting.
