We had a fantasy when we were 4 of having so many pets that we wouldn’t need a bed, we could just sleep on the collective mass of our sleeping pets. Of course, our parents weren’t so into the idea, and when we finally managed to execute our pet bed plan late last year, well, the city’s health department was impressively quick to respond. All this to say that strange pet beds can seem like a great idea, and then turn out to be a downer. So before your next pet furniture folly, consider these 24 Ridiculous Pet Beds.
