The Cat Tree

So we have a Cat Tree in our house next to the fish tank. It offers Mila and the others the opportunity to fish at all times, as well have have some thing to scratch, climb and generally raise hell on. This was the only model available in town, otherwise you can rest assured, we would have a much more deluxe and interesting model. I have to admit to you that I often peruse kitty web sites and Donnie and I fantasize about more interesting custom designs we could integrate into our home.

At night when it is time to go to bed I require a cat or two for the ultimate sleeping experience. It is a given that Casey will be perched on Donnie's chest and it seems to be the luck of the draw * as to what cat or cats I can attract for the night and in what order. I tend to go to bed before all household activity is done and sometimes have to procure a cat from the tree for this purpose if none respond to my "cat calls".

There being a "cat tree" in the home it occurred to me that what I am doing is picking the "ripe fruit" of the tree...

What lovely fruit it is... I love my meows!

*This being the result of the lose of my precious Atchi Meow Wood. My kitty soul-mate who was taken much too soon from me and will always be missed greatly.

This photo should show to you what a really great sport Atchi was.... this was a few years ago and my sister in law had a snugli in her van when she was up for a visit with her babies... I tried it on and we stuck Atchi in it who didn't seem to mind in the least and I don't think he ever really wanted out of the thing.... what a sweet, sweet kitty he was!
