Moving The Cat Tree

When the cats came home from over the border we brought home a huge cat tree as a “welcome home” gift. It’s been in the office with us right by the window ever since, and they use it all the time. But we got a new tree this year and I really wanted to put it in the office so you could see it from the window, and also because I think it looks really swell as the centerpiece to our apartment. But, where to move the cat tree? We could put it by the window in the kitchen, but then we’d have cat hair all over the table, and I like to pretend we don’t have a lot already. So I thought I would put it by the bookshelf, which is directly across from the office. Well, Atlas and Pumpkin had fun riding the cat tree like a boat as I pushed it around and across the apartment. And, well, maybe I did it a few extra times across the kitchen floor just because they seemed like they were having such a good time. But Morn didn’t like it over there, so I moved it to a tiny corner in the living room, right next to our solarium and they love it. I always forget that cats do like some change. I think about the toys they get tired of if we leave them out all the time. (However, if we bring them out once and a while, and alternate, they go crazy!) And if you bring home a new box they’re in heaven! Morn is sleeping there right now, and I actually prefer the tree there because I can look up and see them all the time from when I’m working. And they can’t seem to get enough of it. All in all, I’d say the move was a success.

Happy Caturday!

    Oooh, who needs kids when you can have cats! All the cats in the world! I do believe I am a crazy cat lady in the making.

    I miss having a cat… often I wonder why I even buy toys for them. They can have fun hours on end batting around a folded up plastic bag…

      Isn’t THAT the truth! We found the trick with buying toys is to put them all in a basket and only leave one or two out and after a week, take those and switch them out for two new toys. Then they feel like they are getting a fresh new toy and they go crazy. Sorry you don’t have a feline companion at the moment. You can live vicariously through us! Perhaps I’ll make a video of the boys playing for this Saturday. =)

    Atlas (I think I have the right cat?) is such a beautiful, bright pumpkin-y orange color. If I ever own a cat, I want one just like him. : )
