Introducing the newest member of our family...
A cat tree!
The girls have never had one but it's one of those things that I really thought they 'should' have, only they're so expensive... we went to Walmart today and noticed somebody had a cat-tree-in-a-box in their cart, so we went over to the pet section and had a look and it was only $30. Of course it's made of cardboard with el-cheapo carpet glued onto it, and it's not a thing of beauty and a joy forever, but it'll do for now... we brought it home, opened the box and figured out how to put it together (it's clever and it has a built-in spring to brace itself against the ceiling and hold itself together under tension...) and then we showed it to the cats. Scouty took one look at it and slunk out of the room with her tail between her legs. Silver climbed onto the side table next to it and put one paw on it and said 'it doesn't look very sturdy meowmie', and refused to take any further interest. Tessie made up for them. John got me to bring her into the room and put her onto one of the platforms while we were still erecting it and she looked around her in puzzlement for a moment 'how did I get up here and how do I get down?!' but when I tried to lift her down so we could put it into place she didn't want to get off! She was up that thing like it was a kitty ladder to fun. John waves the feather-on-a-stick around the post to attract her attention, and it only took her about ten minutes to scamper her way up to the very top platform, and to figure out how to climb down again. She had a BLAST! Even if they never use it again, I think Tessie got a third of its value in fun already And of course here are the photos - Perched at the very top - http://community.webshots.com/photo/...15899315zEFPwK Umm... how do I get down from here? http://community.webshots.com/photo/...15899315BGENQR Hmmm... what's this strange blue tree doing in my living room? http://community.webshots.com/photo/...15899315MEORJr I'll just watch... http://community.webshots.com/photo/...15899315VPWrIK Intent on her prey - http://community.webshots.com/photo/...15899315zupFqK Let me at it! http://community.webshots.com/photo/...15899315wAOVPZ (and there are more in the album...) |
