Our cat bed inventory
We've been accused of pampering our four cats - Martha, Emily and
Sophie indoors and Mooch our resident stray outdoors. There may be some truth to this, if you consider this inventory of cat-dedicated sleeping items around our house. These don't include beds and other furniture where they also like to nap. - Upstairs home office where I'm writing this: 3 (1 cat bed, 2 cushions) - Upstairs bedroom: 1 (1 cat bed) - Downstairs living room: 1 (1 cushion on radiator with view out window) - Downstairs dining room: 2 (1 cushion, one padded chair for cats only) - Downstairs den: 1 (1 cat bed) - Basement furnace room: 1 (1 padded wicker sofa for cats only) - Veranda: 1 (1 padded chair with heating pads for Mooch) - TOTAL: 10 cat beds, cat cushions, cat sofas and cat chairs Do we pamper our cats? We'll leave that for you to decide! |

I don't know, sounds just about adequate to me. Let's see... I don't have a single dedicated cat bed, but I do have: In the hallway: one Sherpa bag with a woollen blankie inside One hard-sided carrier with folded newspaper inside Office space: one big cat tower on the desk, with two cubby holes and a soft cushion on top. I tried to put towels into the cubby holes to make them more comfortable, but Miranda, my interior designer, pulled them out of there. It seems they are not allowed. Living-room space: one cat tree with three levels, popular sleeping spot. One double cat tree (two poles with a 'bridge' between). It has a separate nest level that is a popular sleeping place. One butterfly chair with some soft cushions, just for the cats. Sauna: one woolly cat bed (hey, I do have one cat bed) that my niece crocheted for me a couple of years ago for Xmas. Around the flat: sundry cardboard boxes, 5 ATM, for sleeping and becoming invisible in. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |

We'll leave that for you to decide! We have three cats and no actual 'official' cat beds... But in our three room apartment they have the following cat-only items: Living room - large wooden crate with a pillow in it, cardboard box that Silver likes, and a quilt-covered coffee-table frame 'catbed' that's just for the girls to relax on. Bedroom - cushy blanket spread in the corner of the room for Tessie to smurgle on, pillow in the wardrobe (also for Tessie but she seems to prefer the bathtub nowadays), usually a cardboard box for Tessie to play in/shred. Craft room - pillow in the closet for Scouty, box-cave in the corner of the room for Scouty, box on my desk for whoever wants it, box in the OTHER corner of the room that wasn't meant for them at all but they like it there. |

Do we pamper our cats? We'll leave that for you to decide! Mine have an Ikea rocking chair that not even guests sit on. As well as 4 beds in the lounge, a sofa and 6 beds (not including mine) in my bedroom, a chair in the study, a cat tree bed in the dining room, as well as the 4 dogs beds. My cats are in no way spoiled. Helen M |

[snip list] - TOTAL: 10 cat beds, cat cushions, cat sofas and cat chairs Do we pamper our cats? We'll leave that for you to decide! I don't have anything that was specifically designed to be a cat bed. Whenever I see them in the pet store, I want to buy one, but then I think "I could make one for the fraction of the cost." Of course, then I never get around to making one! I don't think my cats suffer for this, though. They're quite adept at claiming spots as personal sleeping areas. Favorites include my bed, the folded-up futon in my computer room, the back of the couch, the shelf next to the window that gets good sunlight, a box of papers that I've been meaning to shred for at least 5 years (that's a good hiding place, too, because it's on top of a very tall bookcase, and if a kitty is in that box I can't see them at all). And pretty much just about any other place. In fact, they like to sleep in places that not only weren't designed for cats, but in fact sometimes look downright uncomfortable. For example, Smudge used to sleep with her head on my computer monitor, her lower region resting on the PC tower, and the rest of her stretched (and sagging) across the gap between the two (my purchases of a flat screen and then a laptop have put a stop to that). Wouldn't it be great if there were a site dedicated to photos of cats sleeping in very uncomfortable-looking places and/or positions, nonetheless looking totally relaxed? I think cats are fakirs in disguise. -- Joyce ^..^ To email me, remove the XXX from my user name. |
