If your cat constantly tries to sleep on your clothes, then it probably wants its own comfortable bed - so it's time to create one!

There are plenty of things you can use to make comfortable and safe cat beds, so you can save some money and also make your cat happy.

Let's find out more about some of them.

Cardboard Box Bed

Find a sturdy cardboard box. Cut a hole for your cat to get in and line it with a soft blanket or cushion. You can decorate the box to make it look nice.

Old Sweater Bed

Take an old sweater or sweatshirt. Stuff it with some soft filling, like old clothes or a cushion.

Sew the neck and arm holes shut, leaving the waist opening for your cat to curl up in.

Basket Bed

If you have an old basket or wicker container, add a soft pillow or blanket inside. 

You can attach a curtain or piece of fabric to make a canopy for a cozy hideaway.

T-shirt Bed

Use an old t-shirt and stuff it with some padding like a pillow or blanket. 

Tie the sleeves together and make a knot in the bottom to create a soft, hanging bed.

Wooden Crate Bed

Take a wooden crate and add a soft cushion or blanket inside. You can also attach some wooden legs to lift it off the ground a bit.

Window Perch

Create a window perch by attaching a wooden board or a piece of sturdy cardboard to your windowsill. 

Add a cushion or blanket for your cat to rest on while enjoying the view.

Hammock Bed

Make a simple hammock using a piece of sturdy fabric or an old pillowcase. 

Attach it securely to a frame, like the legs of a table, so your cat can lounge in it.

Doll Bed

If you have an old doll bed, you can repurpose it for your cat. Add a small pillow or cushion for extra comfort.

Conclusion

Remember to keep safety in mind when making a cat bed. 

Your cat will appreciate the effort you put into creating a comfy spot for them!
