Well, when you've got seven cats and only one single sized bed, it's a necessity.
Shortly after I moved into my dad's place I discovered that even one of his cats could take up enough room on my bed to give me an uncomfortable sleep. So when I went to a charity silent auction and saw this cat bed, I bid for it.
(Thank heavens I got it too, because that once cute and tiny kitten that took up too much space? He's the size of a lion cub at only 7 months old now, I swear.)
