Don't I know it.  Oscar loves diving for small enclosed spaces, like behind
the stereo equipment *sigh* or into the bottom of an unstable shelf unit.  So
I got her a cat tent.  Did she use it?  Noooooo.  I ended up donating it to
the shelter.

She does use a crinkly, furry cat bed sometimes, but I think that's just
because I put the bed right under her favorite sunbeam.

Excellent point, Theresa!  The only thing other than food bowls which scream
"cat", of course I had to buy Persia her own furniture.  I didn't have room
for a large, tall cat tree but she's perfectly happy with the
low-to-the-ground cradle with the barrel on the side.

Not for the cats. I've bought and been given cat-themed things, but they
are really for me, not them. They don't care if the cloth in the bottom of
the cat carrier is printed with pictures of cats or a plain old towel. And
they don't care if I give them their food in one of the official cat food  
bowls, or just an ordinary one from my cupboard. Someone asked me only
this Christmas what I got the cats for Christmas, and didn't seem to
believe me when I said I didn't get them anything!

They do get special treats once in a while, like bits of human food or
catnip or cat treats. But it isn't for any special occasion.
