She'd prefer the box the whole thing came in.

Hah true that! Cardboard and packing paper are some of her favorite things to play with, and we'll often let her tear boxes up a bit before recycling.

Get a cat safe heating pad in there and her opinion might change

"Cat safe" means that you have to chew on the power cord.

It is not for us to question the will of a goddess.

She can see a trap from a mile away.

Make the entrance smaller and cat will like it

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Also if it's new, she probably just doesn't like the smell of it yet.

~~3D printed plastic smells quite a bit in my experience. Cats probably notice that even more than humans.~~

Ah nvm thats not printed its some kinda coated textile.

i hate over-engineering as much as cats do

it's like when you buy a toy for a toddler and the toddler spends more time playing with the cardboard box than the toy. it's the same spirit: the genius in the simple things is adorable, the over-engineering of complex products is something disgusting.

square the opening to be more box-like

Is this cat named after a kingdom hearts character? Looks very familiar.

[–] thrawn21@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Nope, her name's Sofrito (or Sofi for short).
