Choosing A Cat Bed - What Should You Know?

---

     When buying a cat bed for your kitty to sleep in, there are things that you should know about before purchasing one. Several things need to be considered, in order for the cat bed of your choice to be perfect for your cat. By choosing the right cat bed, you can allow your pet to have a comfortable place to sleep in at night. This can minimize the chances of your pet cat to disturb you in your sleep, as it finds your bed more comfortable to sleep in compared to other areas in the house.

Right size

Imagine yourself sleeping in a small bed without any room to roll or move around while sleeping. It's uncomfortable having your movements restricted because of the size of your bed. If you feel as such, then surely your pet also feels the same. In getting a cat bed, you should make sure that you get one that has the right size for your kitty's comfort.

Not only should the bed be able to allow your cat to sleep comfortably, it should also have space large enough to allow your feline to stretch.

Right height

Different cats have different needs in terms of cat bed. If you have small kittens or older cats that move slower, it would be more appropriate to get a cat bed with a much lower height. This can allow the kittens or your old cat to move in and out of the bed entrance with ease.

You should also consider the height of the wall of your cat bed. Cats feel more secured when they feel that they are hidden from sight. The walls of your cat bed are the best one that can provide them with this kind of feeling. You should make sure that the cat bed that you've got has a wall that is just the right height. It shouldn't be too high, nor should it be too low.

Right comfort

Cats often go for much softer beds. You can provide your cat with the utmost comfort by getting a bed that is made up of comfortable fabrics like cotton, wool and/or feathers. The softer the bed, the better it is for your cat. You should also make certain that the material the bed is made from does not pose as a threat to your cat. Synthetic materials made in some fabrics can cause allergic reactions with your cat. In order to avoid such problem, you should make sure that they are hypoallergenic, before using them.

Right durability and quality

The mannerism of cats often shows that they love to scratch and bite different things. When they see a scratch post, the wooden post usually tears up a bit. The same goes for the cat bed that you are going to purchase. Since it may be exposed to biting, scratching or other mutilations, you should make sure that you are getting the cat bed with great durability and quality to withstand the damages that may be follow after.
