Cats aren't like any other pet: they're intellectual, fussy and demanding animals whose love can make owners feel like a million bucks. But there's some things you can't know about cats until you've owned one (or, as many cat-lovers will know - until they've owned you).
They make the rules
'My house, my rules'? Think again. Cats are independent. If you think you've got a well-behaved cat, perhaps they've just got you wrapped around their paw - after all, it's what they do best.
Boxes are like palaces
That said, it's actually not that difficult to please a cat - as long as you know the right tricks. Most cats (and cat owners) will agree the simple cardboard box is one of the most highly sought-after items in the cat world - it's like prime real estate for kitties, and can provide hours' worth of fun.
