more animals

As someone who has cat beds that the cats refuse to sleep on, I can relate.

My cats had all sorts of toys. They never played with them. They played with batteries and other things that fell on my floor.

The only thing cat-ish that my cats will use is the cardboard Super Scratcher, which apparently is just far too superior to anything else they can shred for them to consider using anything else. For which my furniture is glad, even though my vacuum cleaner isn't (since it gets clogged with the shredded cardboard). For play toys they prefer moving objects from higher places in my apartment to lower places (testing the laws of gravity appear to be one of their big hobbies), and the occasional plastic swirly thing from a milk jug or the cap from a milk jug. They utterly ignore the little catnip mice, the little balls, etc. that I lay out for them.

Cat bed? Meh. Cat water bowl? They prefer to drink out of the toilet. The only reason they eat kitty kibble out of the kitty food bowl is 'cause that's the only place I'll put it (I cater to my kitties, but not enough to hand-feed them!).

Let's face it, cats are contrary, ornery beasts for whom compliance means what YOU do for them, and not the other way around.

I keep the lid closed on the toilet so they can't drink from it.
