I think Maxis cats are modeled after real life cats because the only time my cat uses the cat condo (the heavy, barely fits into my car and takes up way to much space in my dining room cat condo) is after I've talked to my intended about throwing it away because he never uses it. It spent a few months at the new apartment so I told him that it was going into the dumpster and the next day the cat was giving me evil looks from the top.

The cat's prefered spot is on top of my intended's old shoes. The sole is falling off so I was going to throw them out but I dont want the cat to claim anything else.

He also likes the floor. He'll take the throw pillows off the couch but won't bother to actually sleep on them. Maybe he's insulting my decorating choices.
