They also hate cat beds. Although they come from completely different but unknown backgrounds as rescues, I can only surmise they were confined in cages at some point in their lives for too long. You should see the fight to get them into a cat carrier for annual vet appointments! Amazing how strong a 10 pound cat can get when they don’t want to cooperate with whatever you’re trying to do with them.
