The orphaned cat-basket

For a long time the in the subject mentioned cat-basket orphaned. And
when I say 'long time' I'm talking about several years! But let me
start from the beginning:

We have this lovely cat-basket, which was living in our livingroom.
She was residing in it. Someway down the road she didn't like it
anymore and didn't want to sleep in it. After it was without any user
for quite some time, we put it in the bathroom.

No sooner it was positioned there, Owl found it a lovely resting place
for himself. Using it as a sleeping place was even for Owl only a
temporary phase, then it was no longer used. Well, not used is not
quite correct: the other cats used it as an additonal litterbox:-/

So we cleaned it and it got a new spot in the bathroom on our bathtub.
Here it stood for a long time, gathering dust on it.

Dear Husband and I thought about placing it in the basement for good
and for all times. We went to our bathroom to get the basket - and
found:

It seems, that She discovered her basket again. She found out, that
she can have her siesta there, undisturbed by all other cats.
Conclusion: the basket remains where it is:-)

Purrs to you

I hope so. We bought a new bent wood chair that Charlie has been wanting
for quite a while. In the three weeks we've had it, he has been able to sit
there about three times.

Jake however loves it. Still I think the money might have been better spent
on a cat tree. At least I wouldn't have to keep vacuuming the fur off of
that.

aw, what a sweetie.

The cat in the pictures is not Owl. It is She. But I agree:-))) Owl is
a lovely cat and such a lovebug:-) See his picture he

So cute! He looks like a Scottish fold, those tufts coming out of his
ears are something I have never seen before. MLB

Yes, she does:-) And we are very happy, that She, beeing 12 years old
this May, decided to stay in the house for at least the cold period.
She has a catflap to come in any time. To let her out, we open the
door for her. The Persians are not allowed to go into the 'great out'.
They have a catflap to the fenced garden. But She can roam free as she
wishes and when she was younger, she preferred to stay outside most of
the time. Nowadays She enjoyes the fenced garden more frequently,
although she insists in her daily walk in the 'great out'.

Snoopy has a catflap, at 17 she thinks the proper way to use it is to rattle
it until a hoomin opens the door. :-)

ROFL!! I know that Sugar would do this. When we had indoor/outdoor cats (no
flap, not done much here), the cats would "knock" but pulling on the outside
screen door and letting the corner bang back in. If it was winter, they
scratched on the door, just like the dogs.
