How to choose a sunbed if the room is not heated, but the cat likes to lie near the window?

Comfort and warmth for a cat is not only about coziness, but also about its health. This is especially important in situations where the room is not heated, and your pet loves to spend time near the window. In this article we will consider how to choose a bed for a cat, to provide him with maximum comfort even in cool conditions.

Why is it important to keep the cat warm?

Cats are thermophilic creatures, and their comfort depends largely on the temperature of the environment. In unheated rooms, they may feel discomfort, which affects their well-being and activity. A warm and properly selected sunbed will help to avoid:

1. Hypothermia;
2. Joint problems;
3. Deterioration of mood and activity.

Choosing the right bed becomes even more important if the cat spends a lot of time near the window, where the temperature may be lower due to the cold air outside. Cats like to watch what is happening outside, but the window itself is a source of cold due to insufficient thermal insulation. In such conditions, it is necessary to create a special place for the cat, which will not only protect it from the cold, but also allow it to preserve its habit of lying by the window. The use of additional materials, such as heat-insulating bedding or insulated blankets, significantly increases comfort. A deck chair with high sides can also be a great solution, as it protects against drafts and creates a cozy corner even in cold rooms. For maximum comfort, it is important to regularly check the location of the lounger and provide the best conditions for your pet.

How to choose a bed for a cat?

The key factors when choosing a sunbed are its shape, materials and location. Here are the main recommendations:

1. Materials. Choose deckchairs made of insulated fabrics, such as fleece, wool or plush. They retain heat well and create a cozy atmosphere for your pet. An additional layer of heat-insulating material will increase the effectiveness of the sunbed in a cold room.
2. The shape of a sunbed. There are several popular options:
   • Dome shape. Ideal for cats that like solitude. It provides warmth thanks to the closed construction.
   • Flat form. It is suitable for cats that like to stretch while sleeping, but for a cool room it is better to supplement it with a warm blanket.
   • Box shape. This option creates a sense of security, as the walls of the sunbed additionally retain heat.
