Cat Beds

Finding a bed for your cat can be fun when you have the right options to choose from. Explore the rounded and rectangular pet mats when looking for free-standing options. Find the selections including the ones that stick to the glass when looking for a mess-free option.

Our most popular options are the beds for cats and kittens that double as a cat house. These pet beds collapse and convert from a house to a bed with a push at the top through its memorized stitching.

Cats sleep a fair bit. The average cat rests for 16 hours, which is twice the average rest periods of humans. It is way longer when compared to dogs. Cats also have both frequent and longer rest intervals. Cats are typically calm as they’re known to better control and slow down their heart rates. They love to play as much as they love their rest. Cats are known to exert lots of energy the moment they wake up. Therefore, ensuring to provide your cat with the best possible rest is not only essential but is further detrimental to their health.

How Do You Choose A Cat Bed?

The short answer to this question is we don’t know. We can’t read their minds. However, what we do know is that they love comfort. It is because of this reason that most times we’ll need to test our various types of kitty bed sizes and fabrics to know which works best by taking note of how long they sleep.

There’s also something called basic rest and deep sleep. Cats that rest better can get into what we call REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep. When they reach this phase in their rest periods their heart rates begin to work less and their bodies and their minds become synchronous. It improves their cognitive functions or brain activity. Calming cat beds higher in comfort are best designed to do that.

There’s a question that many seem to ask ...

Are Cat Beds the Same As Dog Beds?

The answer to that question is both yes and no. Most beds for cats and kittens are smaller in size as opposed to dog beds. For dogs, they are larger depending on your dog's life stage or breed. Pet Beds that are smaller in size are usually made for Puppies, New Borns and smaller breeds like chihuahuas and Maltese. Small bed sizes work well with cats.

It’s not just about the size of their beds that make them great for cats. It’s also a matter of how they’re constructed. Certain fabrics used on cute cat beds work better for them as they tend to be scratch-proof. In fact, some beds have actual sisal and jute carpet scratchers or scratch-like materials. Using them makes the beds enjoyable for cats. You may also want to have an outdoor cat bed for your kitty.

Cats also love to hide more than dogs do. Many beds for cats and kittens double as a house or a cat lounger. Soft cat beds with a fork of covering are especially great for smaller kittens. Cats also love to constantly engage with objects. There are also many beds specifically designed with built-in toy attachments to keep them occupied and constantly playing as they love to do.

When introducing a new bed to your cat or new kitten it’s always a great idea to place a perch near their bed and perhaps sparingly sprinkle the area with some Catnip. Doing so helps establish an area their brain familiarizes with a place of restful calmness or serenity.

Best Beds Recommended for Cats

We highly recommend buying cat bedding that’s raised off the ground. Cats love to rest on higher surfaces to view their surroundings. They love locations where there are multiple viewpoints in areas that are typically hidden. In addition to raised pet beds, anything that’s either enclosed or superior in plush comfort with toy attachments are fantastic options. There are also both electronically controlled heating and cooling pet beds, which are great both during the winter and the summers.

Whatever option you go with, cats just love to feel comfortable during their rest time. It’s always a great idea to keep tabs on their total daily sleep and resting intervals. By purchasing a dog or cat activity monitor that tracks both regular and deep sleep including movement activities.
