Cat Tree Fail

One of the most awesome things about our wine crate cat tree is that the top tier of the tree is a fairly deep wine crate, which creates a “safe space” for the cat who hangs out there. Any cat in the top tier of that cat tree feels enclosed and secure, which helps him relax.

Pierre is usually the cat in residence on top of the cat tree.

Recently, the humans thought the thin cushion in the cat tree might not be comfortable, so they got a thicker, softer cushion and put it inside the wine crate at the top of the cat tree.

Pierre: I don’t think this is working for me. Can I have the old cushion back?

    That’s a cool place to hides! Humans can be so silly at times, hopes they listened and put the perfect pad back for you!

    One thing humans can never get is that comfort for us is way different from comfort for them. Sometimes I wish they would just stop projecting on us!

    That looks like a fun place to hang out, Pierre! I think Cinco would do the same thing. You have to give your humans some credit for trying to make you more comfortable. Maybe they will give you the old cushion back.

    Yeah, we can see that. We like the ability to peek over the edge, not to be up and out there for everyone to see.

    That looks like a really cool tower! Soth would love something like that (but probably not with the new cushion, either).

    Ooh Pierre, quite the handsome lad.
    Ask and you shall have your thin cushion back.
    Does this mean your butt is overly cushiony?
