how encourage cats onto cat-bed ?
Some of you might have been through this process before and might be
able to save me a learning curve. Our two cats are very affectionate and although we leave them a warm living-room to sleep in at night, they nearly always follow us upstairs to a chilly bedroom at bedtime. As you may all have experienced, cats don't bed down and sleep eight hours solidly. Their comings and goings across the duvet at various points in the night, do not a good night's sleep give - for the humans! We have just purchased an electric blanket specially manufactured for cats. Some of you will know what I mean. It's essentially just like an ordinary electric blanket except that the heating cables are protected within a stiff vinyl "pillow-case" and the electric supply line is encased in a strong thick cable that can't be chewed through. The vinyl blanket comes in a soft furry pillow-case, which can be easily slipped off for occasional washing. We are hoping the cats will take to this blanket. There's room for two of them on it. It's 16" x 24" and our cats often sleep side by side. So the question is: how do we get them to choose the warm electric blanket (on top of a thick and soft rug) down in the living-room instead of spending the night on top of our duvet in a chilly room? Please don't say, "Shut the door and just trap them in there!". That would be too easy. And cruel. We would prefer them to continue to have access to all parts of the house, including the bedrooms. So it's a question of how to get them to choose the cat-blanket. Thanks. Eddy. |
