It’s great that you want to get something special for Carmel! While a water bed might seem like a fun idea, there are a few considerations to keep in mind.
-
Durability: Kittens are playful and often scratch or bite their toys and beds. A water bed can be prone to punctures, which could lead to leaks and an empty bed. If that happens, it might not be usable anymore.
-
Safety: If the water bed does pop, the water could create a mess, and you might also worry about Carmel's safety with the potentially sharp edges or the material of the bed.
-
Comfort: Cats often prefer soft, cozy surfaces like blankets, cushions, or traditional pet beds. Many cats enjoy beds with raised sides or soft plush materials, which provide a sense of security.
-
Alternative Options: There are many great cat beds and toys available that cater to their natural instincts, such as scratching posts, cozy caves, or padded beds.
Consider getting a soft, comfy bed or a fun interactive toy like a feather wand or a toy that dispenses treats. Both would provide comfort and engagement for Carmel. Ultimately, it's important to choose something safe and enjoyable for her!
