Word to the Wise: Don’t Go Broke on a Cat Bed
My mom brought up something very interesting.
I told her I was at a loss for words as to what to say today. My cat just p**ed me off and I didn’t want to talk about her. That’s a whole other story in itself.
She said, “talk about where cats sleep.”
So here I am. Thanks, Mom =]
How sad. She is my biggest (only) fan.
This brought up a good point. I bought a really nice wicker planter stand at a yard sale down the street from my house and brought it home. I had all these ideas for it. Moved it all around the house. It was one of my first pieces of furniture or anything since I had moved cross-country so I was proud of it. What a find!
And what of this infamous wicker planter?
It’s a cat bed. Yeah, I know. I didn’t intend for it to be. I moved to a new house and it found a permanent home in the space behind my bar. Didn’t have a plant yet so it just collected mail. One day I woke up to a curled up kitty sleeping where the pot should go. She kept this up. I put her out a few times, but she kept going back. As of now, I have a balled up bed sheet in the bottom and have accepted the fact that my plant stand will always be a cat bed. Le Sigh.
So, here is my word to the wise: don’t go broke on a cat bed. You will be so sorry that you did, especially since your cat knows nothing about value or money and will do everything in its power to sleep any and everywhere except the bed that you broke the bank for. It’s one of those things that most cat owners are just going to have to accept.

Yes, been there, done that. I did have one cat that would sleep in a cat bed. Funny, I always wanted my feline sweetie to curl up next to me and purr me off to LaLa Land, but alas, I always seemed to choose those cats that were too independent and stubborn to sleep on my bed, at least while I was sleeping there.
What a bargain you got on a unique cat bed!
Yes, I like to think of it as that. I know a guy over at PamperMePuppy.com that charges a great amount of money for unique cat beds and dog beds like that. At least it still matches my decor. But so do all the darned pet beds I buy!
