You're right, mostly cats are a domestic work of art. Every aspect of their lives and how they intensely, uniquely interact with their environment is poetic. Sleeping for my cats is a pose.

It's also a good for hiding crushed medication if you pound the crap out of the pills in a sandwich bag. Though medications with strong tasting "non-active binder ingredients", like Benadryl, need to be crushed along with a favorite kitty treat (temptations) and mixed in soft butter.

Make sure it's not margarine or a butter/vegetable oil mix, but real butter or lard. And not liquified, but more like frosting consistency.
