Cats in Beds: A Study of Feline Slumber
It's a fact that cats love beds. Like, really love them. But have you ever wondered why?
- Maybe it's the comfort? Cats are known to be quite picky about their comfort, so it's no surprise they'd choose a bed over a rock or a cardboard box.
- Or maybe it's the aesthetics? Cats are notorious for their sense of style, so it's possible they're drawn to the sleek design of a bed.
- Or perhaps it's the fact that beds are just a giant scratching post with a soft, fluffy surface?
