Striped beds are made for tabbies, so the family should get a pretty tabby as well.
The reasoning of a cat is a wondrous and enigmatic thing.
Bet cat uses both beds while its’ humans are out of the house or sleeping.
Schrödinger’s cat beds. The cat could be sleeping in both beds simultaneously or not at all or in either one. But humans will never observe said sleeping!

Excellent advice. Of course the cat will still do what it wants, but you’ll improve the odds that it wants to try out the new bed.
Put the deeper bed in the striped one. Would that work?
