7. I had to laugh at that. We bought a $30. cat bed, but our cat preferred the empty box my boots came in.

I let him use it for a couple weeks after Christmas, moved it down next to the empty, very cozy looking cat bed, and finally disappeared it one day.
It worked, but if we took no action, he'd still be in the shoe box today.
It's a cat thing.
