Well, the bitties were all tired of the single "kitty condo/cave", so I
went and got them something larger.  I live in an old mobile home (that
is never going to be mobile again, it's almost as old as I am), so the
thing had to be a manageable size (I really want a house big enough for
the kitty motel that CatNipped has).

The picture is Li'l Bit (in the "V" cradle), Leonidas (in the tube),
and Smokie wanting Li'l Bit to get out of the cradle.  It's the first
time Li'l Bit and Smokie have been that close together without a major
cat fight...  I'm sooo proud of them.

Oops...  I'm gonna lose my "goddess" standing if my brain continues to
do this kind of thing....  HAHAHA

It takes you to Yahoo photos.  I'd forget my head, today, if it weren't
attached.

OOoooo They look like they're in kitty heaven! Cat furniture is an
addiction I tell you. ;) Soon you'll find ways to make it out of
stuff you have around the house if you can't go buy it. lol I put
some shelves up on the wall downstairs that is just for the
kitties. It makes a walkway that leads to a window that is too high
to jump up to. Cheap, easy, and they love it!

That's a cute photo!  Persia has a piece of furniture very similar to that.

That's kewl!  I guess they all called a truce to check out the new toy!

I asked my SIL if he had the plans for the cat motel so I could post them
here, but he said he didn't use a blueprint, he and my daughter just built
it free style.

Hugs,

Well, DH has talked about (and talked, and talked, and talked) building
a little kitty thing, like I bought.  Kept saying how it's cheaper to
build, it would be better contruction, he'd make it big enough to cover
the window with lots of ramps and steps (blah, blah, blah).  He never
built it though.  I know he's busy with work, and when he isn't
working, he's busy fixing what is broken on the house, when he isn't
doing that he's really tired,so I never pushed it.

I just asked him this morning, "What is the dollar limit on some kitty
furniture?  I'm going to buy something, and if you don't give me a
limit, I'm going to buy something very expensive."  He said $100, I
said okay, and went to PetSmart after the TB test.  The babies seem to
like it, especially the cradle on top, they can watch the hummingbirds
at the feeder.

Those little hummers will come right up to the window and tease the
cats, it's awfully cute, but the hummer isn't visible in the pictures
I've tried to take.  Guess I don't want Denver's snow, the hummers
would freeze.  Ah well, maybe next year.

You know what, I'd like to take a page from Bonbon's book and learn how to
do it myself!  The deck we have out back would be *perfect* for an outdoor
enclosure, but I know I'll never get DH to build it.  The only way it will
get done is to either contract somebody to do it or to learn how to do it
myself!

Hugs,

that's how I'd like to fix my deck, it would be about the same size.  I
guess I'll have to enroll in carpentry classes!

Maybe it will inspire him to add to it :)

There was a thread a while back about the "Kitty Walk" and some
people bought some of them, and I wanted to, too, because they
sponserd Flippy's cat page, but instead, I bought some unfinished
shelves and hung them as kitty walkways. You could easily buy some
cheap shelves and cover them in old carpet scraps and even hang
them slanted! With the carpet, there is something to grab hold on
and it would make interesting climbing. :)
