When shopping for a cat bed, size is important. You’ll want to find one that’s big enough for your cat to stretch out in, but not so large that they feel lost in it. Material is another consideration – most cat beds are made from either fabric or fleece.
Some cats prefer one material over the other, so it’s worth trying out both to see which your cat likes best. Washability is also a key factor to consider – cats can be messy, so you’ll want a bed that’s easy to clean.
