The story of the do'nut style cat bed


This really is a tale that proves cats can change their minds and that a comfy bed never goes out of fashion



Kizzy was given this bed in May 2009, not long after she came to live with us. But when Pip kitten arrived only about 3 months afterwards he took a dislike to the bed and repeatedly pee'd in it. YUK. So it got washed and washed again until finally it got washed for the last time and put away in the airing cupboard.

Today the weather was horrid, it was cold and rained on and off all day. Kizzy and Pip were in for the day and I wondered how to keep them safe and out of Monty's way so I got out the bed and put it under my desk where I was working. Not 5 minutes later, young Pip was in there, making butter on the cushiony sides, purring and eventually settling in for a snooze.

I left the room to go and make lunch, followed by Pip. Came back with a sandwich and a hot drink and who now was again resident in the do'nut bed? My lovely Kizzy had hopped in to a nice warm bed and she stayed there all afternoon!

It's out of the way and dark under the desk, but I will try and get some new photos in due course.

Hope you like this little saga

Good hearing that Pip is now happy to sleep on the bed, rather than confuse it for the litter tray Angie!!!

It kind of echoes what I was saying in your earlier post angie, my 2 are the same, they lose interest, you put it away for years then, 'oh, what's this?' *sniff sniff*..' smells different, *sniff sniff again* 'ohh, it's new, niiiice..'! *make-patty-cakes*

Re: The story of the do'nut style cat bed


I know cats change their sleeping positions quite regularly, but it makes me rather happy to see a peacefully sleeping comfy cat in a bed that I've got for them. It's silly, but satisfying!!!

Re: The story of the do'nut style cat bed


Leia would rather sleep anywhere than in a cat bed ... preferably MY bed! Or, I should say, her bed that she lets me sleep in too .... although she does hog the middle a bit....
