Dogs Bed

I had a small bed for the cat and they both used it. I got a bigger bed for the dog and the cat has taken it over. My dog respects the cat as alpha and tries to lay in this tiny little bed that he can hardly fit in while the cat strecthes out in the bigger bed. It is humorous, but can I fix this?>

I think you're going to have to get another bed just like the new one. The cat can't lie in two at the same time. It is pretty funny, I can see exactly how it happens. You might try just removing the cat anytime you see it in the dog's bed and then encourage the dog to lie in it but I'm not sure that will work. Cats can be very determined. Is it possible that the cat just likes the cover on the dog bed? Maybe you just need some fabric like the kind on the dog bed to tempt the cat away from it and lie somewhere else.
