Answer #1

It can be hard to change an animals sleeping arrangements once they’ve gotten accustomed to sleeping in a certain place. Its just going to take time and repetition. When your cat climbs in the bed with you, gently remove her and place her in her bed. If she likes being petted, maybe place the bed right next to yours and pet her until shes still and asleep. It may take some time, but if you keep it up and dont give in and let her in your bed shell get it.

Answer #2

she’ll get used to it :)

Answer #4

Put the bed on your bed. Let the cat get used to sleeping on it on your bed. But good luck with that. My cat will sleep on anything (she’ll even pull down my clothes off the chair/table/bed and sleep on them) but she will not sleep in her bed…

Answer #5

if there’s a certain place that she sleeps like a blanket or a loose article of clothing, put that on his new bed.
