Mine like it okay - they tend to use it in spurts. Sometimes it will go unused for awhile and other times there's always someone in there.
I think some of it depends on the weather.

Our big boy (45 lbs) sleeps in a dog bed. He also likes a mat in the sun. Our little boy Frank sleeps on our bed as well as a doggie bed and loves to sleep on top of any box (loves boxes)

well suzie I have found out, is like me, she will sleep anywhere where she can lay her head. Since I have put a pillow in a little makeshift cat bed I have she has been in it the whole day, except when she was up moving around or in my lap.

Anya ignored them for a bit in the beginning but now she sleeps in all of them. She sleeps on top of her cat condo when she wants to be near the window. She sleeps in her basket next to the TV when we're in there and she wants to be "with us" but not necessarily in our laps. And she sleeps in her fuzzy play tunnel in our bedroom when she's cold.

She also sleeps some on the foot of our bed at night, and then sh's recently set claim to a polartec blanket in our bedroom as well.

I am afraid to say that, although my cat is spoiled in many respects, his cat bed consists of a cardboard box with an old sweater for comfort


But he loves it, and yes he does sleep in it

All my kits go through spurts where they all sleep in them, then none for a while.

Villy has just started using her igloo again, but usually she absolutely ignores her cat beds. She prefers the human bed, and looks rather put out when we dare take up too much space in it!

My cats sleep wherever they want to - usually in our bed! They take great pains to completely ignore the nice cushy cat beds that they have!

I bought this dog bed from Ikea and the basket it sits in last month. Maui immediately claimed it as his and is not a very nice boy about sharing
Now the kits just ignore it really but once in a while I catch them playing in it. Maui doesn't really sleep in it that often but on occasion.

In the evening while we're watching tv, all three will lay on the couch with us and in our laps, or on the floor in front of the couch. At night they sleep with us. I always adjust my position based on where they're at, Chad just gets where he needs to be and we all get out of his way
needless to say, they generally sleep on my side of the bed!

I dont even have a cat bed for Mr Jinx, he loves to sleep in my bed with me, which is fine since I curl up with him like a teddy bear anyways. He loves it this way and who am I to say any different??? He is my little buddy and loves to be with me.

Limerick wouldn't get out of his bed when I got it. but now he doesn't use it.... So I gave it to my sister's cat. But he can always be found aat the foot of my bed every night.

I actually need to update my reply...

While Trent and Ophelia could never be bothered with the cat bed, Ginger loves it.
Especially in the afternoon, she will curl up around the toys that are still in the bed (soft balls and such), and nap.
But she does prefer to sleep in bed with me if I'm there.
