What do they think of the box?  

I have a borrowed cat for a couple of weeks while my granddaughter is on vacation; he's been here before so I knew to save some boxes for him. He especially likes ones just large enough to curl up in, although he doesn't turn up his nose at bigger ones. 

I've lined it with one of the towels they sit on at the window sill. Nada. I have the least catlike cats ever, I think. Don't do nip, turn up their noses at real fresh fish/chicken, don't do boxes--and the Old Boy has the worst hygiene I've ever seen in a cat. I could see it when he looked like a beachball and couldn't reach his butt, but he's lost all that weight and can reach things now. Hae to wonder just how much his mother taught him as a stray/feral kitten.

Mine get dry food, premium grade, and yes, it's a bit expensive, but then, they eat better than I do.  I even leave some out on the front porch for the neighborhood cats.  It's not unusual to walk out the front door and see three of them sitting on the porch waiting on me to fill the dish.  Mine are pretty insistent that the dish is empty if they can see the bottom of the dish through a couple of pieces of kibble.  Immediately, the alarm goes out and they're on me to come fill the dish, no matter what hour of the night.
No milk or other dairy products.  Once in a great while, I'll empty the water from a can of tuna into their dish.  If I buy turkey breast, I'll give a small piece to the oldest, she's the only one who gets it, and not very much, too much sodium, and for the same reason, they don't get a lot of treats.  Funny how the shyest one is the one most affected by catnip, she'll roll in it, and generally go nuts for a while.  Her sister hardly seems to notice it.
