Raised Cat Beds

High cat beds are ideal for cats that feel most at ease in high places. Beyond catering to your cat’s preference, a raised bed offers several practical benefits:

• Improved air flow: Off-the-floor cat beds promote ventilation, which can help reduce moisture and keep the area fresher.
• Minimised exposure to dust: Being elevated can help keep the bed away from dust and hair often found at floor level.
• Sense of security: Many cats naturally gravitate to high-up cat beds where they can observe from a distance and feel less exposed.
• Protection from drafts: Elevated beds can keep your pet warmer by reducing contact with cold floors.
• Better visibility: A raised bed gives your cat a better view of their surroundings.

While many cats love raised sleeping spots, it’s important to find an option that suits your cat’s specific needs. Here’s what to keep in mind:

• Your cat’s preferences: Some cats love open perches, others prefer enclosed sleeping spots. Observe their behaviour to guide your choice.
• Size and weight: A raised cat bed for large cats should offer plenty of space without being too snug. Always check weight limits and product descriptions.
• Age and mobility: A high cat bed may be less suitable for young, elderly, or less agile cats. Consider beds with gentle access or ramps.
• Construction and materials: Look for sturdy designs, especially for cat beds on stands or legs. Materials should be durable and easy to clean.
• Ease of cleaning: Many models feature removable, washable covers to help with hygiene.
