There are several different shapes, sizes, colors, and designs of cat beds on the market, but which one is right for your cat? Here are several things to keep in mind when purchasing the perfect bed for your cat.

In order to eliminate fleas, a cat’s bed will need to be cleaned routinely. Find a bed that is machine washable, or that has a machine washable removable cover.

Your cat won’t care what color the bed is, so go ahead and choose whatever suits your taste. The type of fabric, however is very important. It’s best to find cat beds made of natural fabrics, such as cotton, wool, feathers, or kapoc; this will help with allergies while still allowing your cat to be comfy.

The shape of the cat bed is more dependent upon your specific cat. If you have noticed your cat pawing at blankets, making a cuddly spot for herself, then a bed with a cozy cave is probably the right choice to fit her personality. It will help her feel safe, warm, and secure.

If you opt for a bed that isn’t covered, there are still a few issues to consider about the height of the sides. Older cats and young kittens have a hard time climbing over high walls. You can find cat beds that have a lower space in the side of the bed for a comfortable entrance. That way it’s easier for your cat to climb in, and she’ll still be protected by drafts.

When it comes to size, make sure that your cat has enough room to move around in the bed. You want her to be able to stretch out comfortably. Too big, though, and your cat may not like the bed; felines feel safer in smaller places.

Good luck in your search for a perfect, cuddly bed for your perfect, cuddly cat!
