Cats And Coupons

Are you into cat furniture? I remember I’d never heard of or thought of furniture just for cats until the 1980s, when I got my Nikki. I enjoyed his kittenhood so much that I found myself buying anything in sight that he would enjoy. Back then all I ever saw were different kinds of scratching posts. I bought him one that was a 6 foot tall cat tree, made with real wood and carpet. He actually used it so often that he shredded the carpet. My Mom’s cat had a similar tree and never used it. Now I see more modern furniture out there on the market. There are actual pieces made just for cats. Maybe I’d appreciate those more if I had a bigger house. But then, I’m also content with my cat sitting on my furniture. Do you think cats need their own furniture? I don’t – most cats can make themselves comfortable anywhere they want. Do you think they care if they have it? I think they’d prefer to be closer to their human.

Going back many years, maybe fifteen, I had a cat Nikki. He was a very affection and vocal male Seal Point Himalayan cat. Well, he always knew if one of use used pain relieving rub. Several times if my back was sore I’d have the husband rub some icy hot on it and I’d lay on the couch. Every time I had that on Nikki would come around and get excited by it. How crazy is that! I might not have found it strange had it been shaving cream, or even the best eye cream, but menthol rub? Strange! Do you use any personal products that your cat actually loves the scent of?
