The sides are sturdy enough to take some punishment from cats that like to dig and knead before they get comfortable, while the sleeping area is soft and cushioned. The bed also features a non-skid bottom, making it safe around the home – an owner accidentally stepping on it won’t slip along the floor.

Have you ever caught your cat snuggling around warm electrical appliances in the kitchen? Or maybe it’s the constant lounging by the window – you guessed right, they are constantly searching for warmth. You may already know by bow that kittens are born with temperature receptors on their face that help them find mom before they can actually see. These receptors intensify as they grow to make them always search out warm areas. Without even knowing it we provide warmth when cuddling or snuggling up to them placing them in warmer areas of the house. However, when the temperatures drop, both you and the top cat will need a helping hand.
