Ah yes, we just finally threw out a brown paper bag from takeout because it finally tore through, but the cats were playing and sleeping on it more than any furniture we’ve bought them until it nearly disintegrated.

That's why I've had this random fruit box for 6 years.

For a cat of quality.

Quality box! I’ve had a similar box from Costco for years that my cat never part with.

My dog has a pet rock that isn't to be moved otherwise she throws a tantrum

Any bag or box that smelled like French fry grease was sovereign property of the cat and if you put it in the trash, congratulations on encouraging the cat to knock the trash over and drag it out

My cat turns her nose up at french fries yet apparently many cats are obsessed with them.

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Our cat just liked the smell of the grease (soaked bag), she'd nibble on a french fry and spit it out. But the bag they came in, especially something like 5 guys? She'd sit in that bag for a week straight purring away. Pizza boxes were a similar favorite of hers, she liked the cheese and meat toppings but wouldn't touch the rest. But she's sit on or in a box like it was the best cushion.

Here's my girls fighting over who gets to be the paper bag princess.

Lawn and leaf bags for sticks leaves and grass. Basically giant grocery bags.

Bottlecaps and earplugs everywhere

Mine always loved the tie from bread bags.

Our bois will be in the corner, then mad dash out of the bedroom and hide. It’s always used Q-tips.

God damnit, Donut.

Same applies to children.

I have sections for sticks and different grades of sand, gravel and rocks near our door. It's fantastic 🥲

One of my cats absolutely loves cardboard cupholders.

Netty's got a favorite piece of cardboard that fell off the scratching post...

If we buy pizza we have to put the boxes in the oven. Our little bastard will shred the box and eat the pizza. And that's not good for his little kidneys.

As someone without cats but with random garbage in my living room, I am forced to confront the fact that I might just be lazy.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago

You're just prepping for the cat you don't have yet.

It's coming.

it is inevitable.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

My house with torn-up parts of dog toys everywhere. Look, they still like the toys this way.

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

I have random garbage in my living room but no cats. The cartons are so I can throw more crap in them. Will take them out soon

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 1 points 4 weeks ago

Me: what are you doing?

Cat: this is my box now, it's warm and a box.

Me: get off my pizza, in hungry!

Cat: touch my box and I will claw your face off.
