Let me ask all cat owners out there: have you ever bought a pet bed for your cat, only to find out that your feline friend simply doesn't like sleeping on it? Recently, cat owners in Japan have been sharing their experiences online about how their cats completely ignore the pet beds they bought for them, preferring instead to curl up in cardboard boxes or plastic bags.
Even though everyone knows that cats have such quirky and carefree personalities, many admit they just can't help themselves and keep buying pet beds, hoping their cats will finally appreciate them.
To everyone living with cats: no matter what kind of pet bed you buy, it will never beat a free cardboard box. So it's about time you learn this lesson. This is what your cat wants to tell you.
A Japanese Twitter user nicknamed "Chipie" recently posted about their own cat, who completely refuses to sleep in the specially bought pet bed and instead loves nesting inside a cardboard box. This post quickly sparked a lively response.
Many cat owners chimed in, saying their cats have similar habits. They also confessed that even though they know how it will turn out, they still can't learn their lesson and keep buying pet beds for their cats.
Reactions from Japanese Cat Owners
