look what the kittens got

If you have a cat or know someone who does, then you have probably seen various versions of the gingerbread house, haunted house, fall house or whatever from Target. Well, this year they put out a snow house and.... A CASTLE!!!
(dang that Miss Connie for showing me that - you know I had to run out and get one for the kittens ~the mom)

Mom bought the castle and we aren't being paid for anything (but wouldn't that have been nice), but we had to share.....

The first house we bought didn't really survive the experience....the walls were all separate and mom ended up having to use tape on the inside to keep everything together. (which didn't happen)

Chambord serves as primary inspector

We don't know if Target is listening to people about the houses or just getting smarter or what, but this one was a vast improvement. The walls of the house are one piece and there is only one edge that has to be stuck together. There is sticky stuff on the cardboard and they provide extra clear tape to put on the outside to make sure it holds. YAY!! Putting it together was MUCH faster and it won't come apart.

Kirsch played turret inspector

The castle has a second layer and turrets - again, all one continuous piece that fits inside the top of the first floor. Ours already has bite marks on it, but what did you expect??

Calvados is reading the directions - 

they are attached to the bottom of the scratcher that makes up the second floor

Calvados - window inspector

perfectly kitten size windows for extra entries

says Chambord

Kirsch and Chambord on top, Calvados as the invading horde

Mom thought this was great. And then she tried to get the kittens to cooperate for pictures....

Good luck with that.
