They are not a fan of sitting on the floor unless playing, and will find the highest part of the sofa to sleep.
I decided it was time to get them a raised cat bed, when I came across this really cool and quite popular kitty ball bed.
It is made from rattan but to me it is much the same as wicker. It is claw resistant and the pillow for their sleeping comfort or just sitting and hanging out can be thrown in the washer (bonus for me, not a fan of taking slip covers off pillows).
It comes in two different colors... smoke or espresso. These are not only really cute kitty ball beds but they can also fit in with your room decor. I have not seen these in pet stores, only online but they are very popular.. there were already 205 positive reviews at the time of this writing.
I was hiding the pet beds in corners or other rooms on the floor, but it actually makes sense to make them a part of the room. I can just imagine 3 of these lined up in the room. If you have 2 snugly cats they may just curl up together. I absolutely love the look of one of these.
The height is just right for giving them the "view" of the room with no worries about behind them as it is like a cave for them.
Cats Love to be in the Same Room as You!
If there is one thing I have learned about cats over the years, is that they for the most part love to migrate into the same room as you. If I am watching TV or reading a book, they start to show up. It is like they need to know where the hand that feeds them is at all times!
Give Them a Raised Cat Bed Such as this Kitty Ball Bed with a Back
Since my cats lay all over my couch especially in the corners where it feels like all sides are covered and they only have to worry about what is in front of them, they will love this. As you can see my cat Muffin straddles the back of the couch, but the other 2 hide under it or are always climbing.
This will definitely make my cat feel "Uptown" Why not include the pet beds when you are setting up your main living area?
It is nice that designers are finally coming up with awesome looking pet beds that can fit in a room and not be an eye sore.
Let Kitty Lounge In Style on the Porch or Patio!
If you have a house cat, but you also have an enclosed porch you could sit one out there for when you are out there. Or place on of these in a kitty tent for lounging off the ground.
There are so many awesome and affordable ways to make your cat or cats safe and happy. Give them a secure place to hang out and an off the ground snuggly cat dome and they are set for the day, especially older cats like mine.
Shopping Online for Pet Supplies
I have found many of my favorite stores have a presence online, which is great, but also many of the bricks and mortar stores have decided it is not worthwhile stocking less expensive or small items on their shelf and will refer you to online. I totally noticed this with BEST BUY the other day... but I
digress.
I have found that online especially with AMAZON to be one of the fastest and easiest ways to order. Returns are super easy if there is a problem or you don't like it, and they just have so much variety that you can spend all day on the computer and still there would be more!
Anyone who reads my blog, knows that my goal is to live my every day life in the best possible way and the most affordable. I went into a pet shop and something similar to this kitty ball cat bed was 3 times the price, so if you are looking for value, I would suggest starting with AMAZON especially for pet supplies.
