Most fun we ever had with the fur babies, a few years ago, we duct taped tons of various sized boxes together and made a sort of kitty castle. Cut little windows in it, tunnels, you name it. They had great fun and even left the tree alone that year! After a few weeks they lost interest and the boxes slowly made their way to the recycle bin.

My cats also do not like the cat fountains, we’ve tried 3 different types, too. Their fav water bowl is a big old coffee cup of mine that is shallow and deep. We have water bowls in 3 different rooms and they seem happy with that arrangement.
