I've already told you about the enormous success that the scratching post
was (NOT!)
So why, oh why did I buy a beanbag bed for Kitty? I thought it would be
nice for her old bones to have a bed that would adapt to her shape.
I put in on her bed by the fire and covered it with her favourite "pretend"
sheepskin. I got it wrong again.
She is now trying to sleep up on a kitchen stool, making it very clear that
this was a very bad idea.
This is the very last present they are getting.
They seem to be happy how they were. <sigh>
Cats! They won't even let me get them a present without making me feel bad
about it!

ROTFLMAO! Yep, that's cats for you! You might try telling her that she's
*NOT* to lay on the bed.

That might work! Persia never did use her little pyramid bed thing. It's
sitting on a shelf in the closet, right above where she curls up on the
comforter for my sofa-bed :) I even tried rubbing catnip in that thing, but
no go.

The new beanbag bed is still next to the fire looking inviting and comfy.
Kitty is still up on the stool being deliberately uncomfortable.
Now who will give in first? Me or her? We'll have to see.
She wants me to take it away so she can have her old bed back. I want her
to try the new one. War of nerves ;-)

Yikes Tweed! And remember that kitties like the sound of bean bags. It sounds
like their litter box, and so be careful if YOU sit on it!

Oh yeah, I know that one. I got my cats one of those hammocks that hook
over the radiator so that they can curl up all warm & snug in a a nice
high place. Would they touch it? Would they arse.

That's your mistake, anything bought especially for a cat will be rejected.

Try moving it. Our donut bed was utterly ignored everywhere in the
living room,but when I dumped it in a corner in the bedroom suddenly
there's a cat in it all the time.

How absolutely true is this? Cats will lay on whatever they're NOT supposed
to lay on. Buy a newspaper. She'll lay on that! LOL.

Be patient. In three or four weeks she will "claim" it. They like
variety but at their own pace.

You are quite right, I posted this around Christmas and Kitty absolutely
*loves* her beanbag now. She's asleep on it as we speak. She can hardly
force herself off it ;-)

I will come over tomorrow (Wednesday), while the human is gone, and a
plumber is ripping up the bathroom floor. I would otherwise be cowering
under the bed!! I would much rather be cuddling with my gurl!
