Frequently asked questions:

Do calming cat beds work?

Anxious cats will usually avoid flat mats or sleeping in open areas and instead opt for some other covered sleeping spot. Beds with a hood or raised rim can enhance feelings of safeness and protection to allow your cat to fully relax into a good nights sleep. For best results combine with a Feliway diffuser or spray, either give your cat's bed a spray when they need it or place the bed near a diffuser for continuous relief. Feliway is a manmade version of the odourless pheromone normally left by cats when they rub against objects in their environment. This pheromone is usually released by your cat when they are happy or content and is also used to mark territory. When used correctly feliway can help to reduce your cat' stress levels and combat marking behaviours like scratching or spraying.

How do you clean calming cat beds?

Check the product instructions for your specific bed, most beds are machine washable. Otherwise you can handwash the bed in warm water with detergent and allow to air dry.
