Cat Furniture


I put together some cat furniture today.  It came in a large box and 'some assembly required'.  Included was a one page picture of which piece goes where, a hex key, and a handful of screws.  Even I could do this.  The cats got comfortable nearby to watch.  Before long I had the five tiers, two enclosures, two cushions, two puff balls, one rope, and one hammock securily locked together and ready for the cats to play on.  I put it in a corner of the livingroom and waited.  Blitz and Dunder gave it a tentative sniff and walked off.  I went over to my neighbor Anita's to complain about my unappreciative pets.   Anita laughed,  "Cats don't realize the furniture is for them."  She had a point.  While Whip had immediately recognized that the dog bed I brought home was hers, enthusiastically jumped into it, spread out across it, and let her tounge loll over the side;  Blitz and Dunder were more enamored w/ the box the cat furniture had arrived in.  I think w/ cats it might be location, location, location.    I'd placed the cat furniture in a corner of the living room where it was out of the way.  I moved the piece to the middle of the room where the afternoon sun hit.  Later I found Dunder asleep in one of the cushions.  While I worked on the computer tonight, I moved it to the end of the desk.  Blitz is hanging over the edge of a landing where she can watch me.  I'll move it around a bit more until I find a perfect spot for Blitz, Dunder, and me.

Looks like fun for the cats. Does it have a scratching post too?
