It Takes Two Grandparents to Tuck In One Very Fluffy Cat

AI imagenorwegian forest catpet bedbedtime

It takes two to tuck in a cat this fluffy. Frank and Ruth are kneeling on the wooden floor of the living room on either side of a round brown pet bed, each holding an edge of a soft plaid blanket as they fold it carefully around Snowdrop. The big white cat is nestled inside with only her face, ruff and a hint of paw showing, her pale blue-gray eyes gazing out calmly as if she fully expects this level of service every night. Behind them, a basket of cat toys, a cozy armchair piled with throws and a houseplant on the cabinet complete the homey scene.

Many cats love a bed with raised sides, which gives them a sense of security and something to lean against while they sleep. Large breeds like the Norwegian Forest Cat need a bed roomy enough to stretch out or curl up comfortably, so sizing up is often a good idea. Because their coats are so thick, these cats can sometimes run warm, so it helps to offer a mix of spots, including a cooler one without a blanket. A washable cover and blanket keep things fresh, and placing the bed in a quiet, draft-free corner near where the family spends time is usually a hit.

Snowdrop may wriggle out of her blanket the moment they turn away, as cats so often do. But for now she's tucked in, adored and looking every bit the pampered princess she is.
