I love the basket as well.  I even looked at getting one when my Brother was going to adopt the yard kittens which fell through.  Sadly my current dog wouldn't fit in or on it, but if I ever get a feline or a smaller dog it's a must on my shopping list.   :Luv:

OMG. All these gorgeous cat photos!! :Luv2:

My home has always been overrun with cat beds. Most of which were never used, the cats preferred to sleep on us or on our bed.  :shy:

Rocky had one which he would only use if I turned it upside down so he could sleep underneath it. If it was the right way up, he’d attempt to turn it over himself.
So I bought him an igloo bed thinking he obviously preferred to be under cover. He slept on top of it.  :rofl: Cat logic.

This summer, Baileys favourite bed finally fell to pieces and I replaced it. In protest he slept underneath it & refused to get in it (see below) usually while looking as miserable as possible  :sneaky:

I also bought 2 wool blankets for them because they match the colour of their eyes.

Am not! Haha, totally. I put them aside at work as I just had to have those colours, all my staff think I am barmy!  :evillaugh:

Mine tend not to use the beds I've bought specially for them, right up to the point I decide to put them away because they take up room to no purpose.
Then they suddenly decide that that particular bed, the one I'm about to move, is the perfect spot to sleep, and Bramble and Lily compete for it.
They have half a dozen beds of their own, but they count any surface as theirs too, so if you were able to ask them, they'd say there's no upper limit!

I seem to have a rarity, cats what love cat beds! Well, igloo type ones anyway. We have 3 scratch posts with beds on them plus a small fluffy square blanket thing that Zarny loves, 2 open beds, 1 igloo bed and 1 very fancy carrier which is like an igloo bed which is so popular we leave it out all the time for them and will be getting another one for the dining room. I also bought 2 wool blankets for them because they match the colour of their eyes. Billy quite likes snuggling into it :evillaugh: :Luv2: given that they have been here since end of July, do you think they are spoilt?  :evillaugh:

Looking forward to the auction and seeing what comes up.  :wow:

Alfie prefers to be near us for much ofthe time.At the moment, I am lying on my bed, Mr S is sitting next to me - but he is sitting diagonally so that he doesn't disturb Alf who is curled up at the end of the bed  ;D  Cleo would usually be with us too, but she is with the greenpeeps having her most of her remaining teefies removed  :(

I always think it's suge a huge compliment when our cats hang out with us in the bedroom.  Lets face it, there are plenty of places they could hang out in round the house to sleep, but when they come up to bed with us, it's just so special.   :Luv:

Tinks is putting in a protest just now, and refusing to come into the bedroom cos he's in a huff about something.    :-:  Am wondering if he'll thaw after we go away over the weekend.  He does appreciate the fact his Aunty Sue and Aunty Lynne come to pet sit, but Aunty Lynne can be a little - well - loud, for Tinks's tastes.    :evillaugh:

Misa graced me with his presence for some strokes and ummm very sleepy and think he stayed there for a bit after I switched off the lights but at 6.7 kgs I cant do with him leaning on me for long I am afraid.

I wish I looked that good in bed.  There's no dribbling and snoring going on there, is there.  None of those photographs show a cat, disjointing itself trying not to disturb it's hooman.   :-:   No cat sleeping with its paws in the air to hold up the duvet tent for it's hooman.  No.  Course not.  Totters sleepily off, rubbing eyes and muttering......   :tired:

I tell a lie.  :innocent:  We do have one proper cat bed.  It was supposed to be Bunty's but Biggles purloined it because it has a lowered edge at one point that enables him to sprawl.

Biggles is a sprawler so he has his own footstool and several chairs, his favourite being the one in the bedroom that he can perch on the back of.

Ok Rosella Here's what I have

1, 10 year old medium cat tree, 1 small cat tree, 1 homemade very large cat tree, 1 homemade free standing window bed, 6 window pads, 3 radiator beds, 1 furry igloo, 2 bean bag beds, 2 oval beds, 4 wall mounted hammocks,  and a kitty city which is full of beds . I did have a few more but they went to the rescue.
During the day they use the large homemade tree, 2 beds in the kitty city get used and the hammocks get used a lot and so do the window pads.
At night they use my bed, a chair in the living room or the sofa.

I am at the moment planning and designing something else for them, maybe some bunk beds. I got hold of a lot of floorboard offcuts and other bits.  :Crazy:

I really need help  :evillaugh:
