Kitty Condo

As for real life cat toys, I've had cats play with them, but not a lot. One favorite was a "ball race"... a hollow donut with a ball inside and holes on the outside. Cats like to play with non-cat-toys a lot tho. Drop the wire twist tie from a loaf of bread on the floor some time and see what happens.
Jeezie creezie, twist ties. I think 99% of the catfights in my house are over twist ties. I have no idea where most of them come from, either. It's like there's some portal to the Land of Twist Ties in my spare bedroom and only one of them can visit it at a time. My girl cat's favourite"toy" is an unwrapped maxi pad. She carries it around and "cares" for it until the wrapping is in shreds and then she puts it to pasture near her hidey hole (Pop. 5 Ponytail Holders, 2 paperclips and a dead beetle). I don't give them to her, she's taught herself to open the bathroom cabinets.
I've had one in game cat ever sleep on the kitty condo without being instructed. Sucks, too, because it would be nice to have an all-purpose scratching-post/bed.

IRL, my cats love their kitty condo. In fact, they're up there now, snuggled together on the top tier (awwwwww). In my game, however, the cats only sleep in the condo if I direct them to. I really wish the sim-cats could snuggle together like real-life kitties do.
Yeah, no kitten piles in Pets. Kitten piles are awesome, too.

Even when it's stifling here (which is any time other than what passes for winter in the desert), my cats will curl up together in a chair or on top of their kitty condo. Oh well. Maybe in TS3.
Cats are apparently evolved in a desert climate, so they really like warmth, even in temperatures humans find to be awful.

My cat always slept next to my side or in the middle of the living room floor, between the TV and the grumpy grandfather who hated her. Close enough to see her but couldn't do anything about it. She would also cat nap in the dirt under a tree in the back yard then roll around in it when she woke up, and yet she was the cleanest cat when she came inside, her hair was just strange, repelled rain water and dirt.
My sims cats always steal the dogs bed, leaving one of the dogs to stare at it while it sleeps happily away. If puppies could sleep in the bottom of the condo i wouldn't care so much, it would even things out a bit. Usually I scroll over when I have dogs breed to find out why they ignored me, theres a cat in the dog house. I swear if theres a dog house on the lot every time I look in it there will be a cat

Yes, they sprawl out on the windowsill during the hottest part of the day, purring contentedly. The glass is like an ant-killing prism, yet they can't seem to get enough of it. Meanwhile, I can't even stand being NEAR the window during the day, even with the AC cranked up. Oh, and they just luuuuurve to sleep on me (because humans make the comfiest cat beds), even when it's 80 degrees Fahrenheit (27 Celsius) in the house - just what you need when you're already sweating buckets. ::)

I think Maxis cats are modeled after real life cats because the only time my cat uses the cat condo (the heavy, barely fits into my car and takes up way to much space in my dining room cat condo) is after I've talked to my intended about throwing it away because he never uses it. It spent a few months at the new apartment so I told him that it was going into the dumpster and the next day the cat was giving me evil looks from the top.
The cat's prefered spot is on top of my intended's old shoes. The sole is falling off so I was going to throw them out but I dont want the cat to claim anything else.
He also likes the floor. He'll take the throw pillows off the couch but won't bother to actually sleep on them. Maybe he's insulting my decorating choices.
