Cats sleep between 12 to 16 hours a day, with kittens needing up to 20 hours to conquer their day, so they sure know how to value a good bed. However, cats are also known for sleeping in the weirdest spots (in the most uncomfortable-appearing positions) and snubbing the beds you so carefully pick for them. Sometimes, a cardboard box just does the trick!
If you are a recent kitten parent, you may feel a bit lost when it comes to selecting the best bed for your little ball of fur since they might crash in your bed instead. And although that can be extremely adorable, you both need your individual sleeping and resting places. So getting your cat their own bed doesn’t diminish your bond with them; it makes it even stronger because you are looking out for their independence and individuality, traits so important for cats!
Comfort is always key when choosing a new bed for your tiny purring machine, but if you can add excellent design and functionality to that equation, even better! Therefore, we kept this in mind and selected the top 12 best beds for kittens, each offering a combination of style, functionality, and ultimate feline comfort. We have also divided them into categories since each cat has their own preference and style. Let’s face it - we all want a resting place that matches our personality!
And the best part? Most of these beds remain suitable for when your kitten grows up, so you don’t have to worry about going through this process all over again.
So, without further ado, let’s get this (pajama) party started!
Conclusion
In the end, no matter the bed you choose for your new kitten, you want to prioritize comfort above all, but you can also sprinkle a little bit of style and functionality in your decision-making process. And if it helps to keep your furniture intact, even better!
Moreover, if you’re new to cat parenthood, you should know that cats are unreliable regarding their taste. As a result, you may be purchasing a new bed that they might hate (sorry!) or even like at first but start to get bored of. But don’t worry - that’s a way of getting to know your kitten and finding their personality and instinctive preferences. You know what they say: you live, and you learn!
A bed is (literally) where dreams are made of, so make sure your kitten’s are surrounded by comforting clouds of plush and the warm embrace of the best bed ever!
