It is funny how much cats enjoy different surfaces, leave out a notebook? Come out and a cat is sitting/laying on it, box left out? There's a cat in there now.

Piece of paper? You guessed it, cat butt plopped right down.

My cat builds himself entire nests out of loose paper he finds laying around. We've come home to find him nestled on the middle of the couch on top of sheets of paper, looking very proud of himself.

Haha, semi-similar there was wrapping paper on the floor, he had clearly chewed it up/ripped it up and similarly made a nest of sorts on the pile. Cats are silly.

Same with mine. I started tossing that thin brown packing paper from deliveries into a corner behind an armchair. It's like his own little paper jungle and he loves it. Just have to remember to fluff it occasionally and pull out the old stuff.

And yet. Aluminum foil is a very anti cat material

We covered the beds with it while we're on vacation. Going to find out today how well it worked.

My cats do not gaf, though I have heard that mentioned before as a way to try and train them to not get on certain surfaces.

The days before vacation our cats were in or on luggage at all times. My cat (we all get one...so far) is akways on someone's article of clothing. If there's no hoodie or jacket laying around he'll use a pile of laundry right next to a perfectly good cat bed.
