We have 3 cats and a dog. I have always preferred cats because I don't like the constant attention a dog demands, especially a German Shepherd.
But now, after this Christmas, I can't stand the cats.
Fuck 'em. Fuck all of them.
Why?
Well, it has to do with the Christmas presents we purchased for the animals this year...
Since we have 3 cats and they like to bicker with each other, we decided to give them some extra 'leisure space.' We have the room in our house, so we decided to buy a cat tower.
This thing is as tall as I am, took about 4 hours to put together and wasn't cheap. In fact, it was more money than I wanted to spend, but seemed like a good idea...
...but they won't touch it.
They don't want anything to do with it.
I sprayed it with catnip mist, in hopes to attract them and get them to explore/play, and nothing.
What. The fuck.
Meanwhile, we didn't know what to get the dog. She raids my work supplies all the time (sometimes with my permission) and wants for nothing. She has treats, toys, chews, you name it.
So when we went shopping, we settled on a squeaky ball in the clearance section. We didn't want to get her nothing, so this was a 'eh, good enough' consolation.
And she fucking adores that little $1 ball...

ha ha, that sounds just like a cat! I have a cat tower, but it is just single tower and my two bickering cats fight over it all the time. My third cat doesn't care about it.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you try putting their food on it? I am quite sure they'll eventually love it. They just couldn't act all enthused, or it would ruin their reps ;)
Cats are territorial..more so than dogs and have a problem adjusting to changes in their territory. They may start playing on the tower after it has been there a week or two.
