And before any fur starts to fly, let me assure you I am not being mean or unfair.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>My cats rule the roost 100%. There are no questions to answer for them. Whatever they want, they get. Whenever they want it, they get it. So what\u2019s to answer? Can we take up more room on your bed so you can\u2019t get comfortable? Of course my darlings. Can we sit in your office chair so you are forced to find other seating? Why yes, don\u2019t even bother to ask \u2013 whatever you want, I\u2019m here to serve your every whim and desire. I think you get the idea\u2026<\/p>\n<p>So what I\u2019d like to know, is that box, that really large and obtrusive one that&#8217;s in front of the TV armoire &#8211; you know the one, the one that came to the house about 4\u00a0months ago when we were asked to do a review of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Katris-Modular-Scratcher-Tree-I-Shape\/dp\/B00HUBLK3S\" target=\"_blank\">Katris<\/a> Cat Scratching Furniture.
