Some beds for cats (like wicker beds) may require some assembly so look for assembly instructions for this type. Others have detachable covers, linens, and cushions. Read instruction manuals on how to clean these items properly to lengthen the usability of this product. It is also worth considering beds that have a non-clumping polyester filling. These may harbor some fleas if your cat gets infested. Bigger cats may require sturdier beds. So if you’re planning to do a window sill or hanging bed types, make sure that it can hold your cat’s weight and not tip over when they jump in it. Heated beds are better options for cats that are advanced in age. Keeping them warm is a priority to avoid arthritis especially during winter.
