How Our Cat's Mind Works, Part 1: cat activity centres

[major_clanger]

Mira will, perhaps once a week, venture briefly into the bottom compartment of the nice cat activity centre we bought her. The upper levels and cat hammock she completely ignores.

Our wardrobe, however, is the Most! Exciting! Place! Ever! and we have to take special care to keep it firmly closed lest there be further adventures in climbing up nice clothes.

Our old cat, Jonesy the psychopuss, could open sliding doors. We found him once sleeping on the top shelf on the box containing the top tier of our wedding cake after shedding ginger hair over the, probably uncleanable, black velvet glittery patterned bodice of my wedding dress.

I'm afraid cat activity centres tend to be ignored. Try putting an old jumper inside the hammock to line it - that might entice her up. Freshly laundered clothing left atop of it should prove irresistable (but annoying).

We're having a similar discussion with our cat, called, "your water bowl is just over there and was only filled up ten minutes ago; why is my glass of water so superior?"

CJ learned to open the drawers of our wardrobe from her brother Josh. Every now and then you walk into the bedroom and it's like the kitchen from 'The 6th Sense'.

Happily, whilst she occasionally drags the odd item of clothing out of a drawer, she doesn't chew on them.

But woe betide you if you throw that activity centre out or put it in a spare room because it then becomes most important item ever to your kitty and you will get the miaow of wrath.
