      I’ve stopped trying with the cat beds at this point… She’ll sleep on it for like a week then never touch it again her favorite place to sleep now is any freshly opened shipping box lol

        Same. Our cats prefer cardboard boxes cut down to be about 3” walls vs a commercial cat bed.

        For flat beds like the one in the picture they should be up high.

        My cat has one on top of a bookcase in my office that is her go to spot (seriously the nice cat tree I got her is only used for scratching and as a platform to get to the bed).

        Enclosed beds usually work better on the ground as it allows them to feel safe.

        Try putting it in an elevated position. Most cats will like and use it more, even if it’s only 2 or 3 feet off the ground.

    Just because your human brain can’t understand how he’s using it, doesn’t mean he’s not using it.

      I can’t tell if this is meaningless silliness or if it’s profound wisdom. All I really know is that just because my human brain can’t know which it is doesn’t mean it isn’t one or the other.

    Is it new or freshly washed? Because if it smells wrong the cat might get pissy about it.
