There’s nothing better than relaxing on the couch with a cozy blanket after a long day. When that blanket is soft and fuzzy, your cat will probably be tempted to join you. These five blankets are all under $20, but be warned: Your feline friend is likely to try to steal them from you!

Bedsure Fleece Blanket Throw

Made of a cozy, soft microfiber, the Bedsure Fleece Blanket Throw is purr-fect for cozying up on the couch with your cat. It measures a generous 50 inches by 60 inches, so you can toss it on your bed, couch, over an armchair, or in any other space that needs a little extra warmth. It’s breathable and lightweight but still plenty warm. It’s also wrinkle-resistant, so it will still look great after you fold it up and tuck it away for the night. Choose from a wide array of colors to match your home decor and your kitty’s coat.

Chances are -- your cat is right there with you! If you think you're noticing your feline friend sleeping more frequently or for longer periods of time during the winter, you might not be imagining things.
Cats' sleeping habits can change for many reasons! Anything from a change in diet to a new family routine can change the way a kitty sleeps or how long they spend napping.
