<h1>🛏️ How to Choose the Right Bed for Your Cat’s Sleeping Style (Vet-Approved Guide)</h1>
<p>Ever buy a fancy cat bed… only for your furball to sleep in the box it came in? 😿 It’s not you — it’s that your cat has a <strong>unique sleep style</strong>. Some curl, some sprawl, some demand full privacy, others want to nap in the sun like a royalty on break.</p>
<p>In this guide, you’ll discover how to choose the <strong>perfect vet-approved cat bed</strong> based on how your cat actually sleeps — with real product suggestions from the team at <a href="https://purrz.com" target="_blank">Purrz.com</a>.</p>

<h2>😽 Why Sleep Style Matters</h2>
<p>Cats sleep up to <strong>16–20 hours a day</strong>. Their bed isn’t just a nap zone — it’s a <em>core part of their wellbeing</em>. The right bed can reduce stress, improve joint support, and even help with behavior issues.</p>
<p>That’s why our founder, vet <strong>Dr. Duncan Houston (BVSc)</strong>, helped develop the Purrz collection — to give cats <em>beds they actually use</em>.</p>
