Why Your Cat Ignores That Fancy Bed

Bought your cat a cute bed? Congrats, you just bought yourself a new piece of home decor. Meanwhile, your cat is curled up in a shoebox, the laundry basket, or the literal floor—anywhere but the bed you spent hours picking out. Here’s the thing: cats are chaos in fur. Their wild ancestors slept in different spots to avoid predators, and that instinct is alive and well in your living room. No matter how plush or pineapple-shaped the bed is, your cat’s going to rotate sleeping spots like it’s auditioning for a mattress commercial. Want to up your odds? Try moving the bed to your cat’s favorite hangout, toss in a blanket it already loves, or sprinkle some catnip. But honestly, don’t take it personally if your cat still prefers the sink. That’s just how cats roll. #CatBehavior #PetLife #CatOwners #Pets
