Now that my economy has started to revive after all the vet bills last
autumn, I could finally get myself a new TV. It came in a big box, and
of course it's the best cat toy ever. Here are some shots of Caliban
playing in it. He ripped open that hole all by himself from the smaller
handhold that was there already.

I can't believe they can still both fit up there together! Of course, it
may be just stubborness, as both refuse to relinquish the top perch to
the other one.

I got the cats a climbing panel. It's just a piece of carpet on a wooden
frame. My nephew came over and put it up for me yesterday. Miranda loves
it, and climbs it all the time, though she seems a bit put out when she
reaches the top and there's nowhere to go after that but down. Even
Caliban has climbed it a few times, but it makes alarming ripping sounds
when he climbs it. ;o)

My nephew also installed a baby lock on the cabinet under the sink, so
now the cats can't go in and riffle through the trash or kill the rolls
of kitchen towels. Never again will I have to come home to this sight
<knock on wood>:
