not what mom had in mind

The rescue we support has a resale shop next door to the adoption center. They have furniture and pictures and lots of other stuff. However, the other day mom was in there and found a Sleepypod carrier for sale. Holy Cod!!!  We have read about these on the interwebs, but our budget just doesn't stretch that far. But this was a great deal. And if mom wants to be taking Coral more places, this seemed ideal....

Of course, mom bought it and Coral won't go anywhere near it. In fact, the first time she acted afraid of it. For now mom has it opened and sitting on the floor in our living room.

Just call me "batcat"
Mo has turned it into is mancat-cave.
Mom just sighed and said at least it was a good deal. MOL

 Ivy isn't so sure about this thing.


This is about as close as Coral has gotten since mom brought it home. Mo is sleeping inside in this picture. Mom hopes as it starts to smell more like all of us that Coral will relax.

One other thing....whoever donated it didn't leave the shoulder strap. Before mom bought it, she checked online and didn't see it being sold separately on the website. Mom sent an email inquiry and went back and forth a couple of times with a nice lady named Camille at Sleepypod. Finally on Friday mom called and talked to her. They don't sell the straps separate but Camille took mom's phone number and if something is returned (sometimes the straps are ok but the bags can't be repaired for whatever reason), Camille will call us. What great customer service!!!

Of course if we can't get the kid IN there....we aren't sure that the mancave needs a shoulder strap (Tommy has since decided it is an awesome place to nap as well).

  1. Shoulder straps are overrated. You don't need it. You'll be going shoulder strap commando! - Crepes.

  2. We say to sprinkle a little nip inside when Mo decides to take a breather or maybe put a few treats inside. It probably smelled like strange cats when you brought it home, and it will most likely become more familiar as Mo and others spread their scent on it.

  4. I hope that Coral gets used to it! Maybe the nip will work.

  5. Wonder if someone ate the strap?! :p You probably won't need it because doesn't it have a top handle? Could be confusing the design in my mind's eye. Let's hope that Coral eventually warms to it!

  6. What a great find! Sleepypods are hard to find at any discount. Give Coral some time and she'll come around, especially when the carrier becomes part of the scenery.

  7. Funny little Coral, we hopes she learns to like the carrier. Mo and Tim are just warming it up for her, MOL

  10. Maybe once the other kitties get their scent on it, Coral will feel more comfortable exploring it.

  11. When the sight and smell of it are new to Coral she will gradually have to go in and give it a sniff round and when she smells other cats she'll give it her paw of approval.

  13. did you tell Camille that you have a cat blog? She should have just sent you a new Sleepypod in exchange for a review :)

  14. what an awesome find? I found one on sale at one of those online limited time sale websites, they were offering an additional 50% off one day, and I lament not buying more than one. Kit used it as a bed (I hadn't unzipped it, she slept on top of it) for weeks.
