Most Cats Won't Stay Under a Blanket. Grandma Edie Tried Anyway With Pebble.
It is bedtime in the cozy back room, and Grandma Edie is taking the job seriously. She leans over a big round plush bed, glasses on, olive cardigan over a plaid shirt, gently folding a soft gray blanket around Pebble's shoulders. He lies nestled in the cushioned rim, front paws tucked in, gazing up at her with a sleepy, trusting look. In the background, a wicker basket holds folded towels, a pair of slippers waits by the wall, and a small pile of colorful toys sits near the door.
Cats spend so much of their day sleeping that a good bed really matters. Many cats prefer beds with raised sides, like this round one, because they feel protected and can curl up with their back against something. Placing the bed in a quiet, draft-free spot away from heavy foot traffic helps a cat feel secure. Washable covers and blankets make it easy to keep things fresh. Older cats, in particular, often appreciate extra warmth and softness for their joints, and some do well with a self-warming pad. Not every cat will accept a blanket over them, but those that do often find it soothing.
Pebble seems to be one of the blanket-lovers. He is not wriggling free or swatting at the fabric, just settling deeper with each little pat. Grandma Edie will probably whisper goodnight before turning off the lamp. Sweet dreams come easy in a bed this well made.
