look what we got

You may remember last year at Christmas, Target had a gingerbread house that was for cats. Lots of bloggers and cat people bought them and there were pictures all over. There was also commentary that there should be houses for other holidays.

Seems someone was paying attention because there is a haunted house that is available. Mom got ours and set it up over the weekend.

 

Tim got in first

Mozart checked it out right after

 

Almond wanted in on the action

 

Tommy stuck his head in the house, but it was occupied

Tim spent quite a bit of time in it and when he came out, Mozart moved in. The Christmas house was kind of plain but this one is decorated and pretty fun. It took mom just a couple of minutes to put it together. We suspect that toy won't stay in the doorway very long. As for the bottom, that is a good thick scratcher - we still have the one from the gingerbread house (the house survived until about February until a kitten disaster squad went through).

This house came apart by Sunday night. Mom is going to get some packing tape and put it back together. The toy is MIA. We do wish there were windows in this one - the Christmas house had windows and the kittens loved climbing in and out and whapping each other through them. Someone suggested cutting windows into the house and mom may do that.

Random Friday

And if you didn't see it on facebook......FANTA GOT ADOPTED!!

This is a fun story, but we have to back up to Monday. See, over the weekend Miss Mona (the head of the rescue) decided that Fanta was being neutered (SO THERE). Mom took him to work with her on Monday, but couldn't find a spare carrier, so she used one of ours. No big deal. Miss Mona picked him up, mom stopped at the adoption center Tuesday after work to see him, and he has already been adopted.

Well, about 10:30pm on Tuesday, mom had a thought....she forgot to pick up our carrier that evening at the adoption center (her mind is going - don't worry about it). So she stopped again on Wednesday. Miss Mona said the carrier was at the clinic. SOS? Nope, Rascal.** Mom said - oh did you need to use it for someone else?

Turns out, Miss Mona was taking a couple of dogs to Rascal for surgery. She mentioned Fanta, they had an opening, so he had his neuter surgery there on Tuesday. And from there, he actually never came back to the adoption center....he charmed everyone at the clinic and one of the vets decided she HAD to adopt him. Miss Mona said Wednesday night that the vet called her about the dogs and mentioned that Fanta had moved right into her house with no concerns and was already king of the castle (she has a couple of other cats). There you have it....an even better story that we originally thought!!


**we are lucky enough to live in a city with lots of different clinics. SOS is low cost but does only spay/neuter but is also feral friendly - meaning you can bring them same day in a live trap until 2pm. Rascal is low cost as well (both are non-profits) but they have clinic hours for wellness checks and vaccinations as well as being a 24 hour emergency clinic. 

Happy Valentine's Day
