Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

When this bed first arrived, I found myself thinking just how pretty it is. It helps, of course, that it matches my cat's coloring (and his coloring matches my furnishings, not by accident, either). But when I first set up the bed, he wanted nothing to do with it. I moved the bed from room to room, I put his treats and toys in it, but he'd just poke his head in the thing to retrieve them then go back to sprawling on MY bed. Considering he's a 14 pound behemoth who both snores and has a flatulence problem (and, yes, I feed him a high-quality, no-filler cat food), I've been absolutely miserable having him take up more and more space on my bed. Yesterday while I vacuumed, I tossed his cat bed to one side of the living room. It happened to have landed near (but not on) a heating vent. Four hours later, I couldn't find my cat. When I finally located him, he'd curled up in this bed. I've hardly seen him since, including last night when I was in my own bed bracing for his eventual (heavy) pounce and eventual (gassy) sprawl. It never happened. He's snug and cozy in this bed, which means that for the first time in our four years together I am finally snug and cozy in MINE. (And breathing much better now that I don't have cat hair and cat farts flying around me!) Two very nice things about this bed, aside from how pretty it is: the inner pillow is easily removed and looks sturdy enough for washing, though I'll probably stick with vacuuming and/or wiping it off to begin with. (A tip: put a rubber dish glove on your hand and wipe it down; the cat hair will stick to the glove and leave the pillow fur-free. Probably a good idea to run the same glove-covered hand around the inside of the thing.) Also, since the pillow is removable, this bed really CAN hold a bigger (though not longer) cat if needed.
