Cats sure like to get their sleep. According to the National Sleep Foundation, the average cat spends 15 hours a day catching Z's. Therefore, kitty's bedtime, and specifically a cat's sleep area is of uppermost importance for your cat.
So, maybe you should you go out and buy a special cat bed?
It really depends on your cat's preference. My cat Spooky napped in a cat bed I bought, but also on a cat perch I erected by the window. It allowed her to "cat nap," and to also look out the window at birds and squirrels. She seemed to really enjoy that location a lot. When winter came my cat enjoyed curling up in her fluffy bed spending many hours sleeping there each day and evening. Spooky liked to knead, and buying a soft bed she could really sink into was perfect.
You can get a good idea of your cat's tastes in sleep areas by observing their behavior. Maybe your kitty enjoys sleeping on a pillow or likes to be hidden away in some small space. Perhaps like my Spooky your pet likes being high up in a window perch. Cats have different personalities so it all depends on them.
Where does your cat like to sleep? Does your pet have a favorite location in your house?

Depends on the cat. Chilly has started to become real needy lately. He's been spending his days on either my, or my husband's couch. Evenings and overnight, it's our bed. His favorite activity has to be playing wedge. He'll get in-between my husband and I, when both of us come to bed. Mama's favorite place seems to be the kitchen floor. And, Chinnia likes either the cushion on my wheelchair (when I'm not using it, obviously,) or the laundry basket if it's in the house. Baring either. She's been getting on the couch to sunbathe or finds other places to go.

I think comfort is a key for where cats nap. Your cats definitely enjoy your company. Guess Mama cat needs her space now and then.

At this time I have no cat however when my cat Sid was alive back in Latvia he was always finding spots to nap in both inside and outside the house in the garden and he had some favourite spots, When I brought him to Florida he chose places as high up as he could get and spent most of his last days up on the roof in the sun and at night sitting on the edge of the roof meowing for his beloved Papa Now at least they are together

When I lived in Florida Spooky just loved being out on the lanai in the sun and outside. She originally was rescued by me and was abandoned by her mother. So, being out in the open was comfort to her. Like your cat mine also liked heights. She enjoyed looking out the window at birds and squirrels.

@dgobucks226 The cat has been left behind by a family who rented a home and move to an apartment. I am taking care of him, poor furry boy.

You've made a nice cozy safe place for your cat. Some cats enjoy a heated environment or a soft bed to sink down into. Looks like your cat likes both.

Some Cats I think enjoy quiet places where they can curl up and not be bothered. Others like to know where you at and will sleep in your presence.

@dgobucks226 The cats in my household are quite socialized. Most nights I fall asleep feeling big Sonny J. cat snuggled against me.

Anywhere soft it seems. And comfortable to cuddle up in a ball
My cat liked to have her cat bed in the TV room where she could hang out with me.
She would also hang out in a box, lol

Cats have a need for warmth and security, and this fills their need. They also like to leave their scent to mark that item as their territory. Makes them feel safe and secure.

@Bubba90 They probably want to come inside and ask for a meal from you.

Mickey likes to sleep either under a dining chair or in front of a fan. Both in the floor. Tinker likes to sleep with us in the winter, but then will lounge in the floor when I get up.

Finding a cozy safe spot seems to be uppermost importance for pets I would think a hard floor would be uncomfortable. But I guess the cats feel cozy there. If I was a cat I'd rather opt for a nice soft bed

A sofa would be a popular place. A soft spot for the cat to cuddle.

Your cat Lala must feel safest with you nearby. Or maybe she is keeping you safe

My cat falls asleep in lots of places. She loves to sleep on the bean bag on the bed. She likes to sleep on high up places.

I am not sure why I put it where I did. She sleeps in many places so now always in her bed.

Those are 2 popular spots. My cat liked to have her cat bed in the TV room where she could hang out with me.
How did you decide where to place your cat bed?

We always had dogs; and each one had a different spot to sleep in.

I think cats enjoy napping in several locations where they feel safe. My cat liked to have her cat bed in the TV room where she could hang out with me.
