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.

Cat Was Tired And Jumped Into My Daughter Doll House And Actually Used The Bed
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.”
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.
Spent 10 Minutes Looking For My Cat Before I Went To Bed, Found Him Asleep In A Wok On Top Of The Freezer

My Cat Has Never Quite Figured Out How His Bed Is Supposed To Work
My BF Spent 3 Months On An Outdoor Heated Cat House For My Guy. Hasn't Stepped Into It
his heated house is right there behind the freshly built one lol he's probably waiting for you to move into your new house
Any man that spends that much time on the comfort of a cat is a keeper
Try putting windows or a second door for escapes. Cats like to see all around them for any sign of danger. Most would not use this.
'I was waiting for the cardboard box this awful thing was packed into...'
Hates the pagoda. Me wants a pyramid. I'm a pharaoh, no Chinese emperor.
Holy cow! I'm building a VERY similar house for my cat this weekend! I was thinking about that roof line...
The doors too small. The cat will have figured that out with its whiskers.
Yeah, he looks pretty mad about it all. Maybe he doesn't like Chinese architecture.
Looks like the door to his excellent outdoor bed it too small... I would disapprove, too...
He looks so mad! I could sure use it for my feral cat that will only come in for about a half an hour, then starts crying to go out. It is snowing here now, so I wish he would come in. I tookd him to the vet over the summer he had a huge abscess on his head, the vet said he probably got into a fight, and then got infected. He still comes around for food, but haven't seen him today 😥😥
Aww, what a beautiful cat house too. Maybe someday he will use it if not maybe the neighborhood strays will?
I like it as a model, but would be surprised if the cat liked it, especially with his - erm - ample frame. Nothing (apart from the nose & whiskers) suggests it's for a cat.
Beautiful work! But I bet if he had just made a plain ol heated box the cat would've jumped right in! Lol
My dad built a dog house, she never used it. But cats loved it.
Maybe if you introduce him to it without the kitty door flap to get used to it.
Nice carpentry idea. Enlarge the entrance for his ample booth and add a Japanese garden.
Do you have feral cats in your neighborhood? If so, you may acquire another cat quite unexpectedly.
It looks fun and attractive to us, a Japanese temple. but does it look inviting to a cat?
If you were in Phoenix I'd buy it I have 30 ++ outdoor cuts. At least a couple of them would go in there.
PLEASE send the layout/plans for this - love it! (Or please send to ....)
