Oh please. Your carpeting doesn't look bad at all. Kind of a nice contrast to Noodles's beautiful black coat. What a gorgeous pussycat!(Please excuse my horrible carpet. The builder thought light gray carpet in a dining area was a good idea apparently!)
I tried just the tiniest pinch of catnip and she attacked the bed instead of climbing in.So a little while later I put a small pillow and one of my kids toys in it so it heated up nicely. Then I got down and called her to it. She climbed in and started kneading and purring for a minute before settling in!
It was wraped tightly in manufacturers packaging and its still warped from that; but she doesnt seem to mind. I do think the bigger size would have been a better choice; but this is ok too.
