Cat Mom Creates the Ultimate Cat Room-and What Her Kitties Do Next Is Hilarious
At the end of the day, our pets are always surprising us with their tastes.
We see a hilarious example of that in a funny cat video where a mom tries to give her three cats the ultimate cat room, but they have other plans.
What these cats do next is so absolutely relatable to all cat parents and comic gold.

That cat room is so stylish and beautiful (and full of great kitty room ideas), with many fun activities for cats, including a wall-climbing staircase, a jungle gym, and very comfy pillow beds and a tent, yet these three kitties completely ignore their cat furniture.
Instead, they hang out in a fruit bowl in the kitchen, a basket in the bathroom, and in a baby's bassinet.
This is peak feline behavior!

Why Cats Never Use Furniture the Way We Expect Them To
So why, even though these cats were given the ultimate dream room full of things to play with, sleep in, and climb on, do they choose small bowls, baskets, and baby furniture?
Well, a lot of it comes down to the nature of felines.
Cats prioritize familiar scents as well as safe spaces over novelty (even when the novelty is an expensive cat toy or bed).
They don't know that all those jungle gyms and steps are designed for their bodies and skills and that those beds are quite comfy.
They do know that a cozy box or fruit bowl is safe and secure, and it's in an area where their beloved humans are.
Kitties also love the warmth and insulation a box provides (like we see with the second cat, who sits in the box on the back of the toilet).
It does take cats a while to warm up to new things, so hopefully, they do start using the dream cat room soon, but they know their first love will always be the bowl, the toilet box, and the baby's furniture.
