Purr-fect for a catnap (images)

Owners snap cute pictures of their moggies sleeping in miniature beds made for dolls

  • Owners snap adorable pictures of pets as they sleep in miniature beds
  • Craze started in Japan but has got worldwide following
  • Dolls beds come from Ikea and cost as little as £16 including bedding 
It's the new cat-napping craze that is proving the ultimate in creature comforts for pets. Felines across the globe have been kicking dolls from their beds so they can slumber in snug surrounds. Owners have been taking photographs of their contented pets as they snooze in the pint-sized beds, intended for children's toys.

The Ikea furniture seem the purr-fect size for moggies who can sprawl out until their heart's content. The cute series of pictures show three cats on bunk beds and another of an overweight tabby called Sam, looking very relaxed as he casually hangs a paw over the side.

Adorable Sue and Larry are pictured with their beds together, lying side by side under their own mismatching blankets. The beds measure approximately half a metre and come complete with bedding from furniture giants IKEA, with prices starting from £16. Beware they could leave other pets feeling like they are in the dog house.
