But the worst part about them is that cats often won’t even sit in them. My cats seem to believe they are too good for things designed for them and would much rather enjoy human luxuries. As Dr. Helen Fisher, a biological anthropologist, notes, "Cats have a unique sense of their own value and often prefer environments that reflect their status."

Gentry Sanders told The Dodo:
