Is there a way to get the cat to sleep in a certain spot?

I just bought a new comforter, and she’s an uber-shedder, no matter how much I brush her. I don’t really want to shave her, because let’s face it… she’ll still shed. The short-haired cat is shedding like mad too.

I folded up the old comforter nice and cushy across the whole foot of the bed where her spots usually are. She decides to sleep directly in front of it, on the new one.

When the old one was the new one, I put towels at the foot of the bed, and she went right to them. And the old comforter is more plush than the towels AND the new comforter.

The only thing I can think of is that I washed the old one first before I put it there for them. But it’s not like I never washed it while I was still using it.

Any ideas? I’m really trying to avoid having to aggressively de-lint my new blanket daily.

I know this is ridiculous… the owner of one of the top 10 cat divas asking a question about cat behavior modification… hah!
