A well-known fact is that most cat lovers know no bounds in showing their endless appreciation for these adorable fur balls. To this end, you’ll find that your average cat lovers typically come in two breeds: those who cherish cats so much that they’ll appreciate receiving anything cat-related and those who hold their own cats very dearly and would love to immortalize them in the form of a personalized gift.

Trigg and Charlie love it – for sneak attacks or barreling through it when they are having the crazies. I have also found Trigg sleeping in it.
