Cats Choosing Literally Anything Over Expensive Cat Trees (Tweets)

It's a known fact to every single cat owner in the world that buying anything expensive for your cat is useless. You're actually buying it for yourself. Cats will choose a McDonalds straw over any expensive toy any day. Same goes for cat trees. You may buy one that is expensive and beautiful, but at the end of the day, your cat will choose the box that the tree came in over the actual tree. Honestly, you might as well build a cat fortress out of boxes.

That's what happened with this twitter user whose tweet went viral - a cat's legendary love for boxes will always prevail. Twitter users from all across the interwebs gathered to share their stories of mild embarrassment as well, and we love every single one of them and every single one of these cats.

Honestly, at this point, we really should just learn that buying expensive things for these little felines is the most useless thing. One of us bought the most awesome, automatic interactive cat toy for our cat, and after playing with it for precisely half a second, the box it came in became the main attraction.

Yes, purrfection. Lying on the windowsill with mild soft support for the buttocks. This cat we can't even fault. We would also be happy to lie on our windowsill will slight butt support just like this. You should have known this would happen, we blame you. Also, may we please pet your adorable cat? Thanks.
