“I fits, I sits. Put your stinky, stupid human feet somewhere else. Like outside. And stay outside. Except to feed me and clean my litter box. Then go back outside.”

Buy a cat bed if you want a foot rest. You know they won't use the thing made for them.

That's not a bed, that's a throne!

My thoughts:

It's quite obviously a roost, not a bed.

In the cat's defense, it does look like a raised cat bed... It's also exactly the type of thing my cats would go for (I had to buy a raised cat bed for one of them so I could get my desk chair back).

It really does look like the perfect height to have a cat next to your desk, just high enough to reach down and pet them

Use cat... As footrest?

I don't even have a cat & even I could tell you that's good way to lose a foot

Then you don't need a footrest anymore. Problem solved!

i know a cat that would just start purring and maybe lick your foot if you used it as a footrest (gently)

That's a common mistake. For the future: the main difference between a foot rest and a cat bed ist that the foot rest is not inside your house while everything inside is actually a cat bed.

*everything except the 100$ cat bed

I bought a 150$ cat tree for my girl, complete with lots of places to lay. She’s never even used it

It's over, they have the high ground!

You got fleeced, obviously. At least it wasn't as expensive as the cat bed, I bought for a "studio mixing console". Well, the cat likes it and it has elecric heating...

Throne. Cat-Throne.
