Another fussy cat!

We bought our three cats a lovely "cat sofa" each. They look lovely and were expensive! They all ignored them for about 3 weeks and then suddenly all loved then and sleep on them now almost all day long in a little row.

Awww how cute, post a pic of them?

I agree it’s the new bed smell that puts cats off things.We just used cardboard boxes for the cat, put newspapers folded up in them then a small folded blanket with a towel on top.They loved them.

haven't read all the replies - but if nobody told you yet - if you have an old t-shirt or jumper of yours, wear it, don't wash it and put it in the new bed. Your cat will like that it smells of you. Once he/she is used to the new bed you can remove it again.

My cat does exactly the same, snuggled halfway down under the duvet. Oh and woebetide my ankle if I dare to disturb her. 🤣❣️

My cats slept in plastic washing-up bowls (not used for washing up!). They just fitted, were washable, and I lined them with newspaper which could be easily changed and was disposable.

Being a new bed won't impress a cat. The cat will think why has she got me a new bed, I liked the old one. What have I done wrong. The old bed would have made her feel secure, get a new one and that feeling of security has gone. I used to let my cat sleep where she wanted. Having said that, all cats are different.

Advice please . My lovely cat needed a new igloo bed. I have bought her a love new cosy one - she is not impressed! Any ideas that will entice her in ? I haven't disposed of the old one , and can of course make it available again, but it is really past it's best !

It's not what you think, it's what your cat thinks!

None of my cats ever had a bed of their own - they chose their own favourite spots to take a nap (one even took a fancy to a large potato bag tipped on its side). Cats don't make wonderful pets unless they choose to and I don't think fancy bedding is high on their list of preferences.

We are just beginning the process of adopting a rescue cat. So far we have indicated that we are interested in “Molly” an 11 year old black and white.
