Many may see the acquisition of a heated cat bed as a luxury for a pampered pet. There are however several reasons why a heated cat bed should be seen as a necessity and not a luxury. Making your own heated cat bed is better than purchasing a ready-made one.
In nature cats do not stand outside in rain hail or sunshine like heard animals, such as horses and cattle. Rather they make their homes in rock caves. The rocks heated by the sun in the daytime keep their shelters warm through the night. Litters of kittens, huddle together tightly, to keep each other warm, whilst their mother is away hunting.
Baby Bed In Bed
In cool climates cats doze in sunny places throughout the day and are active throughout the night.
We expect our domesticated cats to interact with us throughout the day and to sleep at night. They will be happy to comply with our wishes given the right conditions.
The first thing to realize is that cats like to sleep on a full stomach; therefore feed your cat in the evening. The second thing is; cats need to have a warm place to sleep. If they are not comfortably warm they will stay active to keep warm.
What is a comfortably sleeping temperature for a cat?
Cats have a higher body temperature than humans; therefore they need a higher temperature to sleep comfortably. The ideal temperature for a cat to sleep comfortably is 102 degrees. That is why you see cats sleeping on top of seemingly uncomfortable places - like on top of computer towers, behind furnaces, on window sills or in front of a fire on a stone hearth. Rather than the cat bed we have prepared for them in a wicker basket with a soft cushion.
Watch Your Cat.
Watch your cat when it gets up after a sleep. If your cat has been napping on a sunny window sill or in front of a fire; you will notice that if moves away smoothly. If it has been sleeping in a cooler place like on your sofa you will notice it moving stiffly, even though it is leaving a soft surface. This is why so many domesticated cats suffer from arthritis at an early age.
Mortality rate in kittens.
The highest cause of kittens getting ill and dying within weeks of being brought home is the cold - even in warm climates. This is because we take a young kitten away from its siblings who have kept it warm.
