Every Cat Owner Has Been Here
If you've searched why won't my cat use their new bed, the method that actually works starts with scent, not placement.
Step 1: Start With Scent
Rub the bed with a cloth carrying your cat's scent from their cheek glands.
Step 2: Strategic Placement
Put the bed where your cat already sleeps — not where you'd prefer.
Step 3: Make It Irresistible
Catnip inside, a treat, or your recently worn clothing.
Step 4: Never Force It
Let the cat approach on their own terms.
The Right Bed Makes All the Difference
