FAQs
Cats are wonderful pets; they are calm and somewhat independent. Owners of cats will also note they are quiet and sleep a lot. On average, cats need between 12 and 16 hours of sleep; some breeds require more.
The sleep pattern stems from the animal's natural hunting instincts. Cats hunt primarily at dawn and dusk in the wild, so they sleep to conserve energy. Also, cats are prey in the wild, so they often hide to protect themselves.
Both instincts are part of why cats make outstanding pets. It's also why owners should invest in cat beds and trees to ensure the animals have places to hide and feel safe. To help your furball feel more comfortable and rest easy, check out the top seven cat beds at BaxterBoo.
1. Walking Palm Cat Cave
The Walking Palm Cat Cave is a colorful cat bed that's suitable for pets up to 18 pounds. The material of the bed is durable, luscious, and warm merino wool. While wool is typically difficult to maintain, merino wool is easy to clean with nothing more than lukewarm water.
The most attractive aspect of this bed for cats is that it offers a hideaway. With the small opening, a cat will feel safe and tucked away, allowing it to get quality shut-eye.
2. Armarkat Hideaway
The Armarkat Premium Wood Cat Hideaway is another great, comfortable, and secluded hiding spot for your cat to get some rest. The bed uses sturdy wood construction to create a two-in-one design. On top of the bed, there is a scratcher, while inside, you will find a velvety soft sleeping pad. A dangling toy is on the back of the bed to encourage play.
This cat bed is more like a tunnel, which helps your cat feel more secure because no predators can trap it inside. The footprint is only 15" x 15" with an opening of 8", meaning it can support cats up to 20 pounds.
3. Armarkat Teepee
The Armarkat Teepee-Style Cat Bed is a fun and decorative option. Featuring tiebacks, poles, and decorative roping, the bed comes in a single piece you can easily fold away when it's not in use. The base of the bed is waterproof and skid-resistant. Also, when the poles and other materials are removed, the bed and fabric cover are washable.
It is a large design. The dimensions of the bed are 35" long, 35" wide, and 29" high. The sleeping pad is a little over an inch thick.
4. Pet Life Gravity-Lounge
The Pet Life Gravity-Lounge Cat Bed is an excellent option for your feline friend. Cats love to perch or sleep in high spaces. With the Gravity Lounge, you can attach the bed using powerful suction cups to any hard-surfaced wall or glass at any height. The industrial-grade suction cups can support up to 52 pounds.
While the bed is not machine washable, the sleeping cushion is. The unique shape and color of the bed make it a special addition to any living space. However, here's a quick warning: whenever you use suction cup beds, ensure the surface you are attaching the bed to is clean.
5. FurHaven Pet Bed
The FurHaven Ultra Plush Oval Pet Bed is a typical pet bed, but it might be preferable for some pet owners. The bed does not offer the same hideaway feel as other beds on this list, but it has taller sides, creating a bowl or box-like effect your cat might enjoy.
The bed uses a soft, ultra-plush fabric and includes a tufted pillow base. Medical-grade foam rail walls offer back and hip support, which is excellent for older cats. The insert pillow and rails have covers that are machine washable.
6. Pet Life Kittyhaus Dual-Lounger
The Pet Life Kittyhaus Dual-Lounger Kitty Cat Pillow Hammock Lounge is a fun elevated cat bed for pets that like to act like monkeys. The bed gets suspended from the ceiling and includes two pillows for sleeping. Ideal for long and short-haired cats that shed, the entire bed is machine washable.
The best part of this bed is that it keeps your floorspace clear. Still, you will need to figure out how your cat will access the bed, especially if it doesn't like to jump. You can invest in wall shelves for easier access.
7. Trixie Lavinia Cat Condo
The Trixie Lavinia Scratching Post Cat Condo is a combination of cat beds and a cat gymnasium. The condo includes two beds, one hideaway bed at the base, and one open high-wall bed at the top. It also includes carpeted platforms, jute-wrapped posts, and toys.
The bed is over four feet tall with four levels. While the carpet is not removable, the condo includes two removable cushions — hand wash only. Your cat will love the versatility of this bed, being able to sleep up high or tuck into its bed down low.
Cats sleep many hours, and because they are prey and predator animals, they like to hide or sleep up high. When shopping for a pet bed for your cat, you should consider its natural behaviors and how pet beds account for them. The seven beds on this list offer hiding places and heights for cats to nap and sleep. Your cat will probably enjoy any of the selections above. Still, if you want other options, you can check out all pet beds at BaxterBoo.
