Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2005I have new furniture
I went to the grocery store the other day (maybe a few weeks ago now) and they were GIVING away the coolest furniture for only the asking. Is plastic okay they asked? No, I said, I want paper. So now I have three paper bags in various spots around my apartment. The cats love them so much they haven't even torn them up. And there is almost no time there is a paper bag without a cat. One of the best investments I have made in a long time. They look so smug in there. My friends can't believe that I am just leaving the bags out - forever. But they have more staying power than any other toy I've ever given them, so they are here to stay. And if one gets torn up too badly, well, I know where to get another one. > in a long time.

Suz&Spicey Lily has her very own paper bag on the kitchen floor which has the words: LILY'S PAPER BAG, DO NOT KICK OR TOUCH. She loves to go in there into stealth mode to attack slippers, shoes, toes, whichever is available at the moment. DH tends to not look where he's walking or pick up stuff that's on the floor, hence the words in black marker on the paper bag.

[quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Lily & her mama > Jazz, RB Mine love paper bags so much (but can't sdeem to keep them open) that I bought a cloth version with a wire lined opening, which can be set as open as you like. It even makes a crinkly sound, like a paper bag. I set it on the floor expecting instant acceptance. I've now had it lying around for almost a year, and aside from a few disdainful sniffs when it first appeared, no one goes near it! (And it cost me close to ten bucks, IIRC!) >I went to the grocery store the other day (maybe a few weeks ago now) and >they were GIVING away the coolest furniture for only the asking.

They'll crawl inside the first time or two, then flatten the bag, and never seem able to figure out how to get into it, after that! >> I went to the grocery store the other day (maybe a few weeks ago now) >> and they were GIVING away the coolest furniture for only the asking.

You can get in them, or sit on them!! You can shred them! They are so cool!

I am continually disappointed that my two show no interest whatsoever in boxes and bags, despite the fact that I've got them specially for them. Tweed > I am continually disappointed that my two show no interest whatsoever in > boxes and bags, despite the fact that I've got them specially for them. That's your problem! If you buy it specially for them, they won't pay attention to it. Basic cat law. :) SignatureVictor M.

There is nothing that Captain and Stanley enjoy more than a paper bag or a cardboard box. In particular, Captain is a box fiend and will try to fit his stripey self into anything that even REMOTELY looks like he might fit inside. Only being able to wedge himself into a box up to the shoulders still counts as "fitting inside", in Captain's scorebook. If he can't see us, we can't see him. :o) An especially popular game around here is "Pounce On My Brother", and apparently it's even more fun when one cat's in a box or a bag and the other one's outside. The Feline Entertainment Committee is definitely more fun to watch than the vast majority of what's on TV these days, LOL.

They allow you to take empty boxes to put your groceries in, and charge you a nickle for paper bags, 10 cents for plastic. So most people use the boxes. Back when we had a vehicle, that's exactly what we did. And, some of them still adorn our living and dining rooms. Yep, the cats thing they make purrfect beds!
