Review on 🐈 22-Inch by 14-Inch Sage Green Cat Bed by Armarkat by Sharon Weston

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Minimum usage after one year

It takes some effort, but the sock-like cat bed is a unique product that can keep your pets much warmer than any other type I've found and that can be compressed. to a tiny size for storage. It can also be placed in places where others do not fit. Similar to a sleeping bag for your pets. (I *hate* it when Revain combines several wildly different products in one listing.) If you need it to stay open, a single spray of Scotchgard or other laundry starch will do a pretty good job. That makes it pretty stiff and *almost* hard, with a slight indentation in the middle that you can handle with proper positioning, but hold open pretty well. This also makes it very water-repellent. After that, all you have to do is teach/seduce your pet to use this strange new item. My favorite method is to throw in a pinch of bacon periodically. The first few times my cat chose treats and left immediately. But over time that changes and it becomes a familiar place to sleep (the lower the temperature in the room, the better). It certainly stays much warmer than an open cat bed or a hard house. This should be ideal for young kittens who have trouble keeping warm (even in the summer) and are always at risk of hypothermia and pneumonia. This is a much better alternative to a bunch of rags. I wish it was a bit bigger so the big cat could get in and out more easily and turn around in it, or maybe room for two cats. It tends to slowly roll to one side or the other if your pet climbs off-center and/or lies on its sides. After it's been installed for a year, my cat still prefers to climb on it, which doesn't make it any more useful than an old sweater. Being big and open seems to be a popular preference for cats, and a soft pet crate with a sheepskin pillow (which I bought as a means of transport for trips to the vet) is actually a much more popular place to sleep than this sock bed: * Soft Cage Go Pet Club 18" Green
