I think part of it has to do with the GCCF stipulation that only white things are allowed in the pens so anyone who shows cannot put a anything other than a white blanket - so they formed the white blanked into a bed for their cattie and others formed it into a screen to give their cat some privacy when needed. I think there are beds on sale now that are just white.

Other than this, FIFe and TICA are governing bodies who do not stipulate that your cat should only have white things in their pen because the cat is transferred from this into a separate show pen when the time comes for the cat to be judged against others in its class.
