So, of course, even though I have 3 cats, I only bought 1 of these mats. Never once since I rescured them can I ever remember them liking the same thing. That's regardless of what it is. Even toys have to be different because they literally don't play with the same thing. Dry food and litter is the exception - basically because I flat out refuse to buy 3 different kinds of each and remember which goes in which bowl or litter box. I do buy them each different flavors of wet food and treats though since they are so picky.
I'm sure you can imagine my surprise over the fact that they all enjoy laying on this mat. I'm not sure what the fascination is with it but whatever it is, they love it! Luckily they usually share nicely and each takes a turn on it. However, there have been some fights between 2 of them or even all 3 of them when they want to lay on it at the same time. At that point I have to take it away for awhile but that hasn't happened in awhile. I guess, they realized that fighting over it wasn't going to help any of them.
My only decision now is whether I buy two more or not. As much as I would love them to have their own, I also know them pretty well. I'm fairly confident that if they each had their own they would still argue over just the same one. That, or none of them would ever use any of the mats again. Yes - my furbabies have HUGE personalities and totally do things like that!
