Like in what way?  Like to eat?  Like to play with?  Like to shelter in
during snowstorms?  I think both "my" ferals and the indoor cats both like
my bird feeders.  ;-)

My house doesn't have widowsills so I bought several of the Rubbermaid
stepstools and put them in front of the windows. they love to sit and
look out. simple and cheap but they seem to really enjoy themselves.

We have a glassed-in back porch.  The cat perches are there, as is a potting
bench where the catnip grows.  I also set up a bird feeder in one of the trees
and planted butterfly-attracting flowers so there'd be winged wildlife to
entertain the furkids.  They do seem to prefer that room.

Hey, I did the same thing, but primarily for the screened-in porch.
The sills are small, so I thought they'd like a viewing platform. it's
so cute to see both cats stand or sit on it at the same time!

Another idea: I have a bird feeder, but also a squirrel feeder.
Instead of corn cobs (messy and don't last long) I use "Squirrelogs"
(compressed corn mashed into a log shape). They last a long time and
provide great "cat tv" entertainment.

Oh, man. My squirrels won't touch those. They won't eat corn, either. I usually
buy them raw peanuts in the shell or gather pecans for the feeder.  They *are*
great fun to watch, aren't they?

Really? I guess if you feed them peanuts and pecans, they are used to
"gourmet" eating. *grin*

I guess! I learned this summer that the little doo-doo heads were burying all
the pecans and not even eating them. There are little pecan trees coming up all
over the place.
