We decided to treat Cornflake and Miko to a New Year's gift and picked up some cat furniture from PetSmart a week or so ago. Apparently they had been complaining that they were wearing out their other scratching post and, anyway, it was no longer a challenge for them to climb it to grab the (stolen) green frog toy from the top of it.
The new piece of furniture has a couple of scratching posts, a basket level and a top-most platform that is clearly intended to let them sit in a superior pose and cast their eyes over their entire domain (our house) and/or energetically play with the feather toy and/or attack whichever one of this is laying downing the basket trying to take a nap. And, last but by no means least, it has a surprise use as a launch pad for jumping on to the mantel.
I have to admit be quite jealouse of their ability to have so much fun on such a simple piece of carpet-covered wooden frame. I mean, we like our couches, but I don't think we would describe them as being 'fun'. Perhaps being a cat is better than being a human. And perhaps cats know it. That would explain a lot,me thinks.
