We've been having a king of the mountain / top cat contest around here
this week. Not that they're fighting or anything, it's just that Sammy
is NOT HAPPY when Spotty climbs to the top bottom of the cat tree.
Whenever she spots Spot heading for the cat tree the race is on and
they both try to be the first to rech the top. If Spot does happen to
make it to the top first, Sammy relentlesssly bats and pulls her tail
until Spot jumps down. Course LB can't be bothered with these games.
she occassionaly climbs to the bottom platform, but mainly just uses
the bottom of the post as a scratch post. when I first bougth the
thing I temped her up to the top by leaving treats up there, but when
I stopped putting out the treats she lost interest.

Here it's Caliban and Miranda vying for the top spot on the cat tree.
It's quite a sight seeing them race up the tree at the same time. ATM,
it's Caliban hanging out up there (Miranda's outside in the enclosure).

No contest in this house. If Nocturne wants it, Nocturne gets it.

I love Nocturne, she's so like Sarrasine I can't help but wonder if
they are related!
In our house, Sarrasine wants it, she gets it apart from when Redunzel
is sitting on the Cosmic cat scratcher- that's Redunzel's! (We think
when they were kittens Sarrasine being a feline criminal genius
arranged it so she got ownnership of the "good stuff" like mousies and
Redunzel got the "dull stuff" which at the time included the scratching
post)
