Prolong your pet’s health by getting it its own ramp to access your bed. Although your cat is still young, the joints, hips, and spine of a cat experience a lot of stress when it lands on its feet from a great height. For older cats, a cat ramp for bed isn’t optional, but rather a tool that’s necessary for alleviating the pain that they experience whenever they need to get in and out of your bed.

What makes a cat ramp for bed safe?

A safe cat ramp that can be used with a bed is one that has non-looping carpeting. The carpet is optimal as it gives the animal traction and will prevent your dear pet from slipping off. But, the nails of your cat can get stuck into the carpet if it has small loops. That is the reason why you need to choose one with a non-looping carpet (plush).

Safety rails at the sides of your cat’s ramp will stop the animal in its tracks when it starts to fall off. It's especially important if the cat is already losing its sight. Also, the cat will be able to use the safety rails as a guide to know where it’s going.

If your pet loses its vision, it will happen slowly. It will also be hard for a pet owner to recognize there’s a problem as the animal can memorize the locations of items inside your household. It will also act as if there’s nothing wrong. However, if you start noticing that the cat bumps into furniture when it’s moved into your home, that’s how you know your cat is visually impaired. It may also seem reticent in jumping from high spots.

In order to reach your bed in the safest way possible, give the cat a cat ramp that’s high enough that its highest spot is of the same level as your bed’s surface.

If your cat has mobility problems, choose the cat ramp that’s low-lying. This will ensure that your cat is as close to the ground as possible. You can get a ramp for your bed as well as the other furniture in your home. We suggest you get several ramps so you won’t have to follow your cat all the time.

How to measure for a cat ramp?

Measure your bed’s height and use your trusty old tape measure in estimating the angle that your cat will be able to handle. After that, just look for the ramp that has the measurements you’ve taken. Taking the measurements of your bed is as important as taking the cat’s size. Cats need an incline that’s both comfortable and sturdy to hold their weight.

Remember, you should not push a ramp’s abilities beyond their limit. Also, you should take special consideration when you’re choosing the ramp’s length. This means the higher your bed is, the longer the cat ramp has to be. A ramp’s length affects how steep it is for your pet.

A cat ramp is for a cat regardless of its age. So, don’t delay the purchase and get one today for the sake of your cat’s health and well-being.
