How to Get a Cat to Sleep in Its Cat Bed

Prepare a properly sized, comfortable and secure bed; some cats like covered, some open, so try both.

Place it where the cat frequents, like the living room or bedroom, not a hidden corner, so it feels safe observing surroundings.

Put a favorite toy or blanket inside to encourage staying.

Reward and praise the first time it uses the bed to make it like the bed more.
