Ok, so I've been all disgruntled cuz Ollie rarely uses his two store-bought kitty beds and I've been trying to find ways to make them more appealing to him... well after trying things like catnip, treats, toys and things that smell like me on the beds, I came up with a semi-solution tonight... I've noticed lately that Oliver LOOOOVVEEESSS fleece fabric - whenever I get on the floor with my Penn State (fleece) blanket he runs over to get on any part of it that touches the floor. So I figure he really likes the feel of fleece (so I don't understand why he's not enjoying the lambswool of his snuggle ball)... well while I was at walmart tonight I bought a remnant of royal blue fleece and when I got home and set it down on the floor, Oliver laid right down!! After he got up, I moved the fleece to the snuggle ball and he plopped down in there for awhile as well!
So if you have store bought kitty beds that are going unused and can figure out what type(s) of fabric your kitties prefer, you may be able to (pretty cheaply) get your fur babies to finally use the fun beds you spend all that money on at the petstore or on ebay! (Why can't my cat be like the dog and sleep on whatever gets thrown in his designated sleeping spaces?! haha - oh well, I still love him!)
