An old gathering basket. I'm guessing fruit?
I bought it not knowing what I was going to do with it and then decided I could use it as a cat bed. I'd been looking for one and hadn't found anything that I liked and this was the perfect solution. So I threw a few blankets and toys in there to make it comfy.
The problem was that she didn't use it. Or at least it seemed like she didn't. Toss any old ratty cardboard box on the ground and she's in there in less than thirty seconds. You'd have to physically remove her to get her out of it. But oh no, the basket just wasn't good enough.
Then late one night I walked across the living room in the dark and caught a glimpse of eyes shining back at me. That rotten cat was in the basket! Comfortable as can be, though clearly peeved at being caught.
She'll only go in there if we're not around, probably to show D and I who's boss. Which is obviously her. Usually at night, but I did manage to catch her once during the day to take these quick camera photos. She'd never have allowed me time to grab the good camera.
Does that look like the face of an appreciative kitty ???

awwww so cute! I'm glad she uses it. I did the same with Bud, bough him a comfy cat pillow/bed (better than my pillow) and everytime I tried putting him on, he'd walk away as soon as a let go..lol Tis the nature of the cat...to tell us who is boss...yours is getting good at the pic thing..she is ready for a gig to pay her way!:-)
That's why it took so long for me to go looking for a cat bed. Bought one for Piper and she NEVER used it. I'm just glad Izzie uses the basket, even if we're not allowed to see her in it.
