My cat has a $60 bed and sleeps in a shipping box beside it. I stopped taking it personally.

Cats do not care what we paid. They care whether something is weird, crinkly, or forbidden.

Rotating toys helped a little. If everything is out all the time, my cat gets bored and goes back to boxes.

Mine prefers paper bags, but only when I am trying to clean the house. Cats have perfect timing.
