Here are Dexter and Orion with their new toy, a fish pond.

Their Meowmie and Paw spent one entire weekend researching "do it
yourself" water gardens, the next weekend hauling rock, and the next
weekend actually building the thing.

And it was built solely and strictly for the cats' entertainment. Since
Dexter and O are indoor cats, now Meowmie and Paw have to sit outdoors
in the evening while "the boys" watch the fish. They're both Maine
Coons, and have a real thing about water. It's hard to tell from pic
because they have their summer hair cut.

Is that spoiled or what??

I want to make a little pond like that, it's wonderful!

What a cute pond, and cute kitties!  Dexter must be huge.  He looks
about the same size as Orion in this picture.

LOL. Those are some well-cared for cats! OK, now everyone can stop
telling me I spoil my cats. ;o)

Well at least they seem to approve.

All your hard work turned out to look really nice.  Bet its nice sitting out
there with them.

Oh, it's not mine. It's my daughter's and her cats. But thank you! I'll
pass on the compliment.
As much as I love my cats, I won't be building them a fish pond. That
looked like an *awful* lot of work, and I'm not sure how much
maintenance is involved.
They live in the suburbs of a large city though, and it does give off a
sort of tranquility and a close-to-nature ambiance. I bet that's pretty
nice on a late summer evening after a hectic day.
It just really amused me that she and her DP did it *for the cats*. He
worked like a trojan, on a project for her CATS. I told her he's
definitely a keeper.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with doing building projects for the cats.
Dennis and I spent *days* building each of our cat trees for Vino.
Doesn't seem too smart to put that much money and effort into building
something that ends up making our house look worse and more cluttered,
but somehow when it comes to our precious prince, we don't look at it
that way :-)

Well, I didn't build it myself (just assembled it), but everyone who has
visited me since I set up the new cat tree has said (with a slight hint
of disapproval in their voice), 'well, this place is really furnished
for the cats, isn't it.' It is, but I think that's only fair, since I
can get out of here any time, but they have to spend 24/7 in here (and
in the enclosure, but they only have access to that when I'm home).

I agree. Some people who come by wonder about our cat enclosure and our
sanity. :)

Oh, us too. I wouldn't even want to count the hours we spent on cat
trees. Now they look so ratty.  Non cat people think we are nuts I'm
sure.

DH was a bit concerned about spending so much money on a cat tree that
would take up so much space and cost so much, and we didn't even know
if Oscar would like it.

Now he's conveniently forgotten all of that and remembers it as a
great purchase that "we" made.  LOL!

What a beautiful photo! It looks so pretty and peaceful, and apparently
quite interesting for the kitties (who are also gorgeous).

Yep, spoiled rotten! Lovely pond though! Of course you had to build it for
them, what else are good slaves to do?

(They are my daughter's cats). Yes, Dexter and O have never in their
whole live been outside alone. They used to have an enclosure but not
anymore since they moved.
They're remarkably good about it though. They never try to further than
the immediate area. Not like my cats, who sneak away and hide from me,
and other b*stard cat tricks.

IMHO they are pampered kitties.   That is a lovely addition to our yard
and the cats certainly won't be bored.  Do they catch the fish?   MLB

Not so far. She says the fish kind of stay at the bottom. I thought
maybe somebody Dexter is going to get too excited and fall in :-)

We built a enclosed back porch with hammocks at every window... complete
with a pine tree going through the roof(gauge wire at roof so they can't
escape)at our cabin...Just for the kitties>>> :-)... DH has designed another
room that will be a "jungle jim/meets skyway walk ways/ meets 90% outside
glass/screened windows with a bubbling fountain... we're going to start that
project on our vacation... 4th of July week...Maybe, if we are lucky, the
kitties will let us hang out with them when it's finished... Are our kitties
spoiled??? Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :-) Liz

There's no such thing as a spoiled cat, just a properly trained hoomin.
We've got a pond too. <eg>
