We had a dog bed and I don’t know why we quit using it but we did. Instead of throwing it out, Vince put it out in one of the spots where Cat sleeps, thinking maybe she’d like it but we never saw her in it. When Vince would see her sleeping on the rocks, or on a piece of cardboard . . anywhere she seemed to be making a habit of sleeping, he’d move that dog bed over to see if she wanted to sleep in it. She never showed any interest in the bed.
Last week, Vince put the bed up on a bale of straw by where Cat’s heated house and heating pad are located. All of a sudden, she took to it and she rarely gets out of the bed.
Cat in Her Bed
She seems to love it. She’s such a cat! She will close her eyes and pretend we aren’t there so long as we don’t get too close. I think she thinks by closing her eyes, she can’t see us so we can’t see her.
She still loves Vince and begs for more attention from him . . and won’t let me bet her and won’t come hear me. I keep reminding her that I’m the one who wanted to keep her and I’m the one who spent hours and hours for months and months trying to make friends with her but . . nope, she’s Vince’s girl now.

Maybe that is a good thing. Maybe he needed at pet and she needed him. Now did you wash the bed before you put it out there? If not maybe it took awhile for the dog smell to go away or maybe it took being outside and getting all the outdoors smells to attack her. Who knows with a cat they have minds of their own and you might as well not try to figure them out because just when you think you have they surprise you.It is good that she has attached herself to him since you go away to see that darling little family more. Cat vs cute little family that is a no brainer if you ask us grandparents. Have a safe trip and enjoy everything.

Cats are primadonas. They can’t be figured out. Just go with it. One day she may accept you. Hopefully she will love the bed and try out the house. Is the bed heated?
Heather Watts says
So glad to see that she has accepted some sort of warmth, now that the cold weather is here.

That has to be warmer than the rocks and the tin roof! She looks quite comfortable and, for Cat, happy.

How funny! She is still mad at you for leaving her to go be with your aunt and uncle! She is punishing you.
