My kitties really like their beds and whenever I finish a new one I toss it on the floor. About half the time one of the cats runs over to check it out, which is very cute. I run all the beds through the washer & dryer before donating them, so letting my cats explore is no big deal. I think Hamish & Fiona prefer their own cat beds. The two on top of the sewing table in the living room get a lot of use and one or both cats are up there when I leave for work and again when I get home.
