Recently we ran a post about some of the strangest beds in the world. Soon after, AOL Home pointed out that it's not just humans who try to doze off in some unlikely spots. These 20 beds designed for pets and purchased by (crazy) owners are over the top: high-style, high-dollar and highly elaborate. We have to wonder if these marketers have ever had pets. Every animal we've lived with has preferred our newspaper or coat over any actual bed we've bought them.

Of course, if you have a cat, you already know that they don't need a bed -- they'll get comfy any old place. Check out the proof in this gallery of lazy felines. Then send us a photo of your pet lounging and we may feature it in an upcoming story.
