They sleep curled, tucked in, with their back against something.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWatch where your cat actually chooses to sleep and it's rarely the middle of a cushion. It's a laundry basket, a cardboard box, the gap between two sofa arms. Somewhere with edges. Cats sleep between twelve and sixteen hours a day, and they spend most of that in a curl, which conserves heat and keeps the vulnerable belly covered. A flat mat gives them none of that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Instinct Basket is built round for exactly that reason. The raised rim gives the head and chin somewhere to rest, the sides give the back something to lean against, and the depth means your cat is tucked into it rather than perched on top of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo sizes, and the difference matters.\u003c\/strong\u003e The small fits cats up to 15 lb and measures 42 cm across. The large fits 15 to 31 lb and measures 48 cm, and that upper range also covers small dogs. Go by the curl, not the cat: measure your cat when they're already curled up somewhere and add a couple of inches. A bed that's too big defeats the point, because there's nothing to lean against.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere to put it.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is the part most people get wrong. Cats pick sleeping spots by sightlines and warmth, not by comfort alone. Put it somewhere with a view of the room and a bit of height if you can, away from the litter box and the busiest walkway. If your cat ignores it for the first week, move it before you give up on it. Nine times out of ten it's the spot, not the bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it won't do.\u003c\/strong\u003e It won't stop a cat sleeping on your bed, and it won't win over a cat who has already claimed one specific chair. Cats choose. What it will do is give them a better option than the laundry basket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping and returns.\u003c\/strong\u003e Orders leave within 24 to 72 hours.

From their side, you've confirmed there was something worth barking at. Most owners find this out after about two years of doing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat barking needs isn't volume, it's an \u003cstrong\u003einterruption\u003c\/strong\u003e — something that breaks the dog's focus for a second, at the moment it starts, so you have a window to redirect them and reward the silence that follows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat the device actually does\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePress the button and the QuietPaw emits a high-frequency tone. Dogs hear well above the human range; you'll hear nothing. To your dog it's an odd, unfamiliar sound that pulls their attention away from whatever they were barking at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThat's it. It doesn't hurt, it doesn't punish, and it doesn't make a dog decide never to bark again. It buys you two or three seconds of attention — and if you use those seconds well, the barking gets shorter and less frequent over the following weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe honest part\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWe'd rather tell you this now than refund you in a month.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis does not work on every dog.\u003c\/strong\u003e Some notice it immediately and go quiet. Some glance up and carry on. Deaf and hard-of-hearing dogs won't respond at all, and very anxious dogs sometimes need a gentler approach than a novel sound. Anyone selling you a device that \"instantly stops any barking\" is selling you the same hardware with a worse conscience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt also isn't a substitute for training.\u003c\/strong\u003e Used on its own it becomes background noise your dog tunes out within a fortnight.
