It's out of control now. Isis in the box every second of the day when she's not eating or spending 5 minutes investigating invisible flying thingies. http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj291/MikeinIllinois/12060017.jpg http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj291/MikeinIllinois/12060002.jpg At night when I take her out of the box she gets ornery and mean. There is hissing and flailing of claws. This whole thing borders on debauchery. Mike in Illinois I think she wants on that trail in the second pic > It's out of control now.

My cat Toby lives in a laundry basket downstairs. He loves laying on clothes that are in there... I can't get him out of it.

My wife prepares it for her by leaving the door (it's a front loader) open, and arranging it so the bumps on the inside are not positioned down, and leaving her blanket in it, arranged in the bottom so Junie will have a nice place to sleep. She especially likes it right after use, when it is warm and slightly damp from drying clothes. >> my cat just started doing the laundry basket thing, i think its hillarious >> [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > sleep.

What steps have you taken to prevent the dryer door being closed and/or the machine turned on whilst Junie is aboard?

It does get closed now and then, but it doesn't bother the cat. There is no reason why it would ever get turned on, since there are no clothes in it. When my wife starts to load it, Junie leaves, but she is ready to hop back in as soon as it is emptied again. bostic1212 expressed precisely : > me too. that trail looks beautiful!!

[quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Mike in Illinois lol I'd love to share some action shots of Isis. Maybe she'd be jumping in the air or hopping from one piece of furniture to another. I do remember years ago when I saw her scamper up six feet of draperies, do a 180 at the top, and scamper down. I remember when she used to hide behind doors and jump up 3 feet and scare the heck out of me. In those days we had some great games of "Chase Me" and "Run For Your Life". Maybe it's because it's winter or because she's about 10 years old but this is the best I can offer. I'm sorry. It's all I got. http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj291/MikeinIllinois/inthebox.jpg Mike in Illinois >> It's out of control now.

My Deetoo likes to climb up my shower curtain. Downside is that it leaks like a sieve after that. So now every time I finish showering, I hang the ends of the shower curtains up over the top rail. Does she do a rippin' fast climb or a slow Everest type climb where she has to dig her claws in to get a secure foothold? Mike in Illinois > My Deetoo likes to climb up my shower curtain.

No, she gets a few feet up and hangs there widening the holes because her claws get stuck. So, I trim her claws and have to settle for sheer stocking like long runs at the bottom two feet of the curtains. > I'd love to share some action shots of Isis.

Comfort is the thing after a certain age, isn't it? My Celeste is 12 now. She has two beds of her own for day time, the communal one with her people for the night, and the guest rooms for variety. It's all about eating and sleeping now, interspersed with some sessions of being petted and a lot of just sort of lounging. Melvin, the nearly 2-year-old homeless fellow we took in, tears around the house like a wild man, plays like life was a never ending amusement park, and sleeps like a rock when he sleeps. Cats are just plain lovely creatures. Diana Mike formulated the question : > It's out of control now.

[quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Mike in Illinois A friend of mine saved up all his shredded paper and placed it in a large box. The cat goes in there to play and he loves it. I have this expandable cloth laundry basket which is like a large spring and tube shaped. My cats love it better than any of their toys. SignatureCount Baldoni
