My cat ignored the fancy poetry book, so I switched to a grocery receipt

I used to put all this effort into setting up photo ops with my cat Miso on expensive hardcovers and literary journals, thinking that's what this sub wanted. Someone commented that my cat looked bored and that the setup was too staged, which stung but I think they were right. Now I just toss a crumpled grocery receipt or a takeout menu on the floor and Miso plops right on it, like she's checking what I bought. The difference is wild, she actually sniffs and paws at the paper now, and the photos look way more natural. Last Tuesday she sat on a CVS coupon for a solid 10 minutes and it got twice the upvotes of my leather-bound attempt. Has anyone else found that their pet picks weird reading material over the nice stuff?

Thats so real, cats just want the boring stuff we touch every day.
