50 Funny Examples Of Cat Beds And Cat Logic
Cats spend an average of 16 hours per day dozing off, and this is fine—it’s their choice. What’s a bit dodgier is that they do this in the most bizarre places ever. Like, terrariums, vases, laundry racks, trees, your bed, your dog’s mat, the list is never-ending. We documented this phenomenon in our previous articles here, here, and here.
At this point, it’s fair to say that cats would sleep anywhere except their perfectly fine, brand-new, super comfy, and very stylish cat beds. Does that mean you wasted your money on a cat tree? Well, kinda. And that vegan hipster mat you got your feline last Christmas? You could have splashed the money elsewhere.
But it's better to understand cat logic late than never, so please get ready for Bored Panda’s new list of cats who nap anywhere but where they should.

My Cat's Kittens Have Found A New Cozy Bed... In A Cup Holder
To find out more about feline sleep peculiarities, Bored Panda reached out to Mikel Delgado, a postdoctoral fellow in animal behavior at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. Mikel told us that as predators, cats tend to “work hard, sleep hard.”
But their sleeping patterns are quite different than ours. “Cats tend to sleep for short periods throughout the day and night, unlike humans, who tend to sleep in one long (hopefully!) bout.” In total, felines sleep 12 to 16 hours a day, and all that sleep helps them to “conserve energy for when they need it most—to hunt.”
We Got Him A Bed, But Then A Paper Towel Fell On The Floor, So Nevermind
Mikel also explained that most cats sleep a lot during the day since their humans aren’t at home and their environment isn’t active enough to keep them stimulated. “Providing your cat with a window perch, food puzzles, enrichment like cat grass, and safe solo play toys can help keep them more active when you are gone.”
It turns out, cats may be sleeping in all these weird places due to the fact that they fall asleep much more easily than we do. Plus, “they are also more flexible so they can fit into spaces that do not look comfortable to us.”
I Planted Oat Grass For The Cat To Snack On, She Decided It Makes A Good Bed
Mikel explained that some of those spaces may “provide cats with a sense of safety, or the ability to see what is going on in their environment.” Because even though we focus on cats as predators, they are also prey animals, so they need to be aware of what's going on around them.

The cat bed doesn’t smell like mom or dad. Animals who love us are comforted by our scent. Rub a clean towel on your face and head, then put it in the cat bed (and do it your own damn self this time, ya frickin’ Neanderthal!). Then watch the cat start sleeping in their bed a lot more.
Wear an old tee shirt for a couple of days then put it in the cat bed and see if that helps.
I think cats feel closer to their owners when lying on their clothes
You are very slow guy understanding that your cat's saying in his own way that he loves you
So You ask your wife to do it ? Why are you incapable of doing anything that involves manual house labour.
Who said he's incapable of "doing anything manual house labour". Geez. Find something else worth sniveling about dude.
