Collection: Cat Bed

We have all been guilty of taking a nice relaxing nap in the afternoon on a weekend or weekday and enjoying the afternoon sun as we relaxed and dozed off. Just like humans, cats especially also like to have a bit of a snooze in the afternoon. That is why you should consider buying an adorable cat bed. PawPawUp has many cat beds, some of the cutest cat beds you could purchase for your lovely animal friend to sleep during the night or for a quick cosy afternoon nap.

If you think about it, humans can fall asleep on the couch, a sofa, a recliner or even on the floor, provided we are tired enough. However, our bodies benefit from a sturdier and more comfortable bed that supports our bodies. Like humans, cats also need a bed that supports their bones and muscles enough to allow adequate sleep and rest without stiffness or achiness. As your pet ages, it’s even more critical for them to have proper support. A bed provides the adequate comfort, warmth and support that your bed offers to your spine and body. Out of all necessities for Cat accessories, a Cat bed is one of, if not the essential, items to purchase for your pet.

Another positive that a cat bed offers is a comfortable and warm environment for your cat to sleep in. However, this only works in union with situating the cat bed away from drafts which can easily make your cat cold. To better regulate their temperatures, cats require comfortable and warm spots but not too hot and away from chilly areas. This allows them to be comfortable and sleep properly. We love snuggling with our pets in bed. We also need a good night’s sleep without a paw in our faces or a tail across our noses. Having clean bedsheets and sleep areas is good for our health and wellness, especially if you’re prone to allergies. A cat bed is an adequate solution here. With a cat bed, your cat can have a place of its own and keep your bed sheets clean and away from any allergies. This does not necessarily imply that sleeping next to your pet is terrible.

How to Pick a Cat Bed?

A cat bed is a fixed resting place for a cat, just like a cat nest. The first point is to choose a bed in accordance with the nature of the cat. For kittens, sick, or lactating cats, their bed should be semi-closed to guarantee safety and warmth. Then, according to seasonal changes, in summer, choose a bed made of breathable materials, such as rattan or bamboo, designed for ventilation. In winter, pay attention to warmth and protection against wind.

Material is also important. Heavy-duty fabrics extend the life of the bed in case your cat loves to roughhouse. Consider which type suits your home and your cat best. Completely enclosed beds are perfect for cats who love to hole up in tight, snug places; pillow-type beds are better for cats who like to watch the world go around them.

Where to Place the Cat Bed?

Ventilation is very important. The bed should be placed in a spot where air flows but not directly where drafts can occur, as this might make your cat ill. Another major factor is the warmth; cats love to nap in areas that have sunlight, especially cozy ones. Sunlight also helps prevent parasites and skin issues.

The quietness of the surroundings is very important to sleep. Cats prefer peace to stay alert. Not last but least, cats have the instinct to conceal themselves, so placing the bed in a high or obscure spot, such as a bookshelf, can be used to provide extra safety.
