And people buy cat beds?

My local shops whilst being pretty good for most things tend to be
expensive for toiletries and cleaning things so I do a big shop in
Stratford for those every month. There is a branch of "Wilkinsons"
there and they are much more reasonable so I go to get things like
shower gel, kitchen towel etc

Anyway yesterday as Jim the Gardener came round I left the carrier bag
in the bedroom intending to unpack it later...then I walked into the
bedroom and found the contents all over the floor I assumed it had
fallen over so I picked the bag up intending to put it under the
sink...It was however surprisingly heavy then got a lot lighter as
Sarsi shot out from inside it she had obviously emptied it and got
inside. I left out and this morning she was curled up inside it again

Cats beds are quite useful. They fill in the odd corner. They
collect bits of dust. And they demonstrate where your cats aren't
when you can't find them.

Well, yes, when we prefer to have our carrier bags available without
having to dump out a cat.

I've discovered that Leila will use hers if I put it where she can see
me from it. Incidentally, I've also discovered that she is much calmer
in the cat carrier if it's turned sideways so she can see me.
Apparently, she doesn't really care where we're going....

The easiest way to distract Harley away from the groceries is to toss the
empty paper sack to the corner of the kitchen. The resulting "kitty cave"
is irresistable.

I have a folded towel draped over a small printer table to the left of my
desk, and she sleeps there while I'm working. Often with a paw resting on
top of mine. So mouse pad to the right of my keyboard, and cat pad to the
left. :P

And again this morning she was asleep in it perhaps it feels like a
warm sleeping bag to her- she'll probably use it a couple more days
then get bored of it as usual.
Isis (RB) used to open the door to the cupboard under the sink and
make herself a nest by rearranging the carrier bags. This was the cat
that built her own luxury penthouse on top of the fridge as well- we
think she might have been a property developer in a previous life

"Buy", yes. Do the cats USE them? (It's anyone's guess who will and
who won't.)

Really? My house is equipped with several cat beds (as well as
cat-trees and other furniture designed for felines). I have yet to make
the acquaintance of any cat who will not promptly make for any carrier
bag that appears! (Although mine usually wait until the bags are empty.)

Cendrillon can open any cupboard or closet door she chooses. The
closets have heavy sliding doors made of wood, and she only weighs about
ten pounds, but somehow she manages. Since she chooses to "nest" in the
lower cupboard in which I keep my pots and pans, any time I want to use
one, it must be washed, first (or risk serving black and white cat hair
in the food).

Oh I stopped doing that, especially when the BF moved in. All of this
stuff that is remotely comfy gets inspected, kneaded and then turned
into a bed.

The cats love to sleep on his kilts that are piled in the corner.
Mischief will blatantly walk onto one and settle down right in front
of him. One time he put his face close to hers and said, "mischief,
we talked about being on my kilt, didn't we?" She avoided looking him
in the eye, and just streeetched.

Once he left his denim kilt on this couch and all three cats took
turns sleeping on it. They ended up creasing it and covering it with
cat fur.

Any clothing of mine that's discarded on the bed automatically
attracts a cat.
