Recommend me a cat bed!

DCat like an igloo style bed, but hers lost all stiffness in the wash and now collapses, so she sleeps on top of it. I also think doughnut beds look v cosy.

Any suggestions of good quality beds that survive cleaning?

My overlord has a cave type bed a vision and a fleccy blanket .
He sleeps on my pillow or most of the time in his cat carrier

We have never bought any specific cat furniture.
They have a choice of human chairs, tables, random boxes, our beds, anywhere inconvenient on the floor, piles of clean washing, windowsills, ironing board, or anywhere else they decide

We have a fake fur donut bed. It’s out of favour a bit at the moment, funnily enough, but she will go back to it shortly. It’s great because we can port her around in it if eg hoovering or moving her into the kitchen where she sleeps at night.

Dear god, look how dirty her feet are. For shame.

EdinCat used to love one of those Sherpa style beds that hang over the radiator then I had the audacity to replace it when the old one was in rags and she never looked at it again. Now she sleeps on my dressing gown at the bottom of the bed or on a scarf on my desk if I'm working.

My pair love this one, will just about fit two cats, but very comfortable for one. Dog also loves it, and cats have to resort to battling over a cardboard box while the dog squashes the comfy bed flat Hmm

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 17/01/2022 22:41

@kittenkipper she is a hairy, muddy little nickum - good job she’s adorable!

Our cat LOVES her electric heated cat pad. Has been known to spend 23 hours a day on it (She hates to be cold and hisses at the outside when we open the door).
She’s a rescue cat so we make allowances for her diva behaviour… and we are so suckered in we bought her a second heated bed so she can have one upstairs too!

These.

Also available on Etsy. Bernard likes his, though to be fair he’s fairly happy to sleep anywhere as long as it smells of his own cat farts.

Another Amazon box-devoted family here.

Yesterday one chose a Waitrose bag and the other chose some bubble wrap.

Also see: on top of a laptop, jigsaw, or book.

Clean washing a hot favourite.

I have no idea what these 'cat beds' are you speak of? Grin

Dontfuckingsaycheese · 17/01/2022 23:17

@applepineapple

I've had to get two of these for mine as they kept arguing over the first one Grin never washed them though so can't say how well they wash www.petsathome.com/shop/en/pets/pets-at-home-grey-spotty-donut-cat-bed
Haha - there was a fabulous for sale on Facebook a while ago for this bed. There were pictures of the bed and many many pictures of his cat sleeping anywhere but!! Ddog has that one (shh he doesn’t know it’s a cat bed). He loves it. 🙂
Fluffycloudland77 · 17/01/2022 23:17

My departed Bengal liked his covered dog bed. He had a hot water bottle under the pad in cold weather.

Dontfuckingsaycheese · 17/01/2022 23:17

Ps they wash beautifully!

kittenkipper · 17/01/2022 23:30

So glad to hear the aldi ones are good! My girl has an igloo but I don't know where from as it was a gift - if anyone recognises it or where it's from please let me know

Oops. Don't want to wake DH up. But the best bed is clearly your own bed. One cat per pair of feet. Job done.

DCat is welded to her bed. It's a small dog bed from Pets at Home and it's been the best £18 I've spent on her - many other beds have been rejected. I bought it with 30% off quite recently but would definitely buy it at full price. Lots of room for a big sprawl.

I gave my Dcat expensive plush brand new igloo away, she wouldn't even look at it. She picks a bed through the day and another at night, or sofa, or a chair. As supreme being it's her choice.

MaybeHeIsMyCat · 18/01/2022 01:07

Mine has two. He suggests the donut one is the comfiest but the igloo is good for hiding
His human got the donut one from TK maxx and it was labelled memory foam, the igloo is from Amazon

Not my cat doesn't have a bed so he sleeps on mine. Given he doesn't live here, I am NOT buying him a bed Grin

My cat is loving the hooded cat bed which is still on sale at Cotton Traders for £15. I only got it as I was buying myself slippers and she's in it all the time.

Hemskis · 18/01/2022 07:10

I got my two the dark grey donut bed which bis for cats. They love it but the big grey cat would be half on the floor and they insisted on trying to share. So I bought a big light grey donut bed for small dogs which is just perfect and they like sleeping in it together.

@MaybeHeIsMyCat he isn't your cat, but he has decided you get the pleasure of his company at his convenience and yes, that's definitely his bed when he's on it. He looks very happy and pleased with your service Grin
