My cat loves to lay on paper. For some reason he hates soft things. He will not use any soft bed we get him. This Christmas I wanted to get him just some really nice paper but I'm not sure what route to go. I'm thinking maybe some nice thick construction paper. I think ideally I'd get him a giant sheet of cardboard but I've no idea where you'd buy such a thing.
There is also something like this:

It does make a mess but my cat used to like these so I bought a new one every few months.
Oh yeah. We have a bunch of those already, but he is a big cat and I noticed he doesn't like to rest on those. He does love scratching them though. Getting him a large piece of cardboard is more like getting him a bed haha
I dont know where you live but in the US home depot/lowes has cardboard. Im pretty sure you could also probably find some in a target. idk abt outside the US tho.
I was being dumb. I thought of the perfect place to look: postal offices and storage/shipping places like FedEx, uhaul or any of those physical storage rent-a-closet sort of stores.
I'm honestly kinda surprised they don't have it lol, that's smart.
And my rat loves to eat paper.
