We have two 9 month old kittens. The male sleeps in the bed that we got when we got them on the landing outside our bedrooms. The female wanders around and sleeps downstairs on the sofa or on the stairs. I think she would quite like the bed too, she kneads it when she gets a chance, but male is dominant and goes in there every evening when I chuck him out of our room. Recently she's been trying to sleep under Dd1's bed, which has a nice new soft carpet. I'm not keen on them being in the bedrooms at night as we all sleep with our doors closed so think they'd be disruptive trying to get out in the night. So I bought her a new cat cave style bed but she's so far ignored it. Should I put some catnip in it to try and encourage her to use it? Or any other tricks?
I know cats are notorious for ignoring their beds but hopeful I can entice her in.
