My cat's stopped using his bed - Help!

Thanks for the replies

My cats change their spots whenever they feel like it, so I’ve completely done away with cat beds.

They use the bed, the wardrobe, shelves, chairs, under the eaves, the sofa, armchairs, and even the roof of the garden shed.

Not one of my cats uses their bed anymore, except sometimes when I put the two of them on a chair outside, out of the wind and in the sun.

The only trick to get them to use their beds is to move them to a different spot. Sometimes just moving it a metre is enough for it to work. In my house, I often move the beds around when I see they’re being ignored, and that usually does the trick.

Maybe he prefers being elsewhere because it’s warmer; mine sleep right on the floor when it’s hot.

Ideally, it’s best to have a few different beds or baskets.

You should move his bed to wherever he’s sleeping now—it’s probably a quiet, tucked-away spot.

Evening,

It’s impossible (and pointless) to try and force a cat to settle where they don't, or no longer, want to be. The cat is the one who decides, and their preferences can change over time. Plus, some cats will turn their nose up at their bed if it’s just been washed, as they no longer recognise their own reassuring scent.
