If a cat that used to use its bed suddenly refuses, check for a strong or unpleasant smell, dirt, dampness, or a bed that has grown too small as the cat got bigger.

Clean or re-site the bed, match the material to the weather, and place it where the cat already likes to nap.

Is It a Good Idea to Take a Cat Traveling?
For a short road trip, if the cat adapts to new environments without stress, you can take it. But longer or distant trips are troublesome: trains and planes require checked baggage with immunization and quarantine certificates. Some countries have strict pet entry rules.
