Sleep & Serenity: Beds, Caves, Heating Pads, Calming Aids & Night Routines | Cat Emporium Store

Prologue
Good sleep repairs behavior. Offer warmth, enclosure, and predictability, and the midnight zoomies turn into satisfied sighs.

1) Bed Shapes by Sleep Style

  • Donut/bolster: curlers and anxious sleepers—security by design.

  • Mattress-style: sprawlers, seniors, large cats—easy in/out.

  • Caves/hooded beds: shy cats; pair with a soft throw for scent capture.

2) Where Beds Belong

  • One near family life (day naps), one in a quiet corner (night anchor).

  • Keep out of draft paths; add non-slip bottoms on smooth floors.

3) Warmth Options

  • Self-warming mats reflect body heat;

  • Low-setting electric pads for supervised use only; inspect cords often.

  • In winter, place a bed where morning sun lands.

4) Night Routine (15 minutes total)

  • 10–12 min wand play → small dinner in a slow feeder → grooming aid (lick mat) → lights dim.

  • White noise or soft fan for consistent background.

5) Calming Aids & Etiquette

  • Pheromone diffusers near sleep stations; rotate toys out of the bedroom at night.

  • Avoid late caffeine for humans (doors slam, routines drift—cats notice).

6) Laundering & Longevity

  • Wash covers warm; sun-dry inserts; vacuum seams.

  • Replace beds when foam compresses or bolsters slump.

7) Multi-Cat Harmony

  • Provide one bed per cat +1.

  • Different textures (plush vs linen) reduce resource guarding by preference.
