About a week before Christmas, we were lucky enough to get a free cat bed for our kitties, Rosalina and Carmelita, from Costco.  And by free, I mean they gave us a really neat box for carrying our groceries that was absolutely perfect for cat babies to nap in!  When we first brought it home, Rosie climbed right in, then, refused to do anything else with it.  Meanwhile, Carmen was not convinced at all that this box was even worthy of her time.  Even a blanket was not enough to entice them to use it.  After a few disappointing hours spent wondering if our kitties would use their new bed, I finally adjusted the blanket so that part of it was now a makeshift curtain.  Now, with this added privacy, our kitties have been spending a lot of time using their cozy new bed.  I guess it just needed to be upgraded to a canopy bed, as our girls clearly have a taste for luxury.
