A New Bit of Snug

We have a new cat-bed in the cosy apartment, given by a friend as a gift. I didn’t have a spot for it until after the Christmas tree came down yesterday. As soon as the new bed was in place, however, the beasts were examining it. Raleigh was the first to try it, and, to judge by the amount of time Peachy spent in it, he approves.


Cammie wandered out to the sitting room at some point in the afternoon. I wonder if she knew that something had changed and wanted to check it out. In any case, the princess found the new bed and also seems to like it. (She’s facing away from the camera but, since she’s blind, I don’t imagine it matters to her which way she looks.)


The one who liked it the most appears to be Josie. My Chubs spent much time in the new bed, especially in the evening - though she also likes the heated cat-bed across the sitting room.


I am pleased to have this new snug resort for the beasts, as the second heated bed is now in the bedroom and monopolized by Cammie. The new one, though not heated, has high sides, as you can see, and a deep cushion. The latter doesn’t come out, so I cannot place a heating pad inside the bed, but I can put one underneath it - with a blanket under that - if need be. But so far, the cat-bed by itself is drawing satisfied reviews from the critics.

  2. Wonderful! I've not had much luck with the cat beds I've tried for Annie and the boys over the years, so it's great that at least three of your crew approve!

  3. Angel has been sleeping with her back to the room recently, but seeing Cammie like that makes me a wee bit sad. However, it's a fleeting emotion, since I know she is cared for like the royalty that she is!

  4. It seems the new cat bed is a hit. Whenever I bring home something new like a cat bed or a scratching post, I initially have to rub some catnip on it to get the cats to use it. I got the cats a new pet heating pad for Christmas. It just arrived so we'll see what the cats think of it. I already have one heating pad, which all the cats like, and they seem to have a time share arrangement to see who gets to use it.

    1. I don’t doubt that your cats like the heated bed. I think my heating pads are among the best purchases I’ve made for my cats, especially as they grow older and more frail. Tungsten was always thin and small, and loved her heated bed; she spent many of her latter days in hers. Now, Cammie is doing the same; since her stroke, the bed is a great comfort to her.

  6. It looks like everyone will be enjoying the new bed. I see Raleigh is close by waiting for Cammie to vacate it.

  7. I love cat beds! Nothing is better that getting one that everyone likes though.

  8. What a success that all three enjoy it. Miss Pops has a multitude of bought beds and prefers her shopping bag to sleep on, although as she has got older her heated bed gets a bit more use now.

  9. It will be interesting to see who claims it permanently as they all
    look so cozy. Nice to see Cammie exploring. Precious got a bed
    last year and enjoyed it. But when I brought it out this winter, she
    barely sniffed it!

    1. Neville doesn’t seem to be one for cosiness. He likes the top platforms of the cat-trees. He likes to stretch out.

  12. Nice! The cats use their cat beds in the basement when they're hanging out with my son. But they aren't heated, nor as nice as this new bed.
