Peanut's been busy

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Well, Peanut got a bonus at work (she works for her daddy, you know, and even though she's been punching in late these days, he gave her a bonus instead of docking her pay ) and she asked me to got to Petco and get some furniture for her Palace.

Here is what she requested.


She is looking out her window as she sits on her new, soft, cuddly pad.

I'm always so hesitant to buy things like this because T & P are notorius for ignoring toys and things that I buy for them. But it seems she will actually use this one. Tubby wasn't thrilled with it, and is much too big for it.

Oh, and you'll notice the beginning of her "address" on her Palace. I have to make the tags with the actual address on it yet, but at least the mailman will know that this is her Palace, and he should deliver all her fan mail here.

The Princess in her palace on her pad! Is there a pea under the mattress???* (What am I thinking of?!?!?!? It would be a pea...nut!!!)

*From "The Princess and the Pea" or the play "Once Upon a Mattress."

This is so much fun, seeing all the cats in boxes. I had a box from a grill (large) and taped up the top flaps so it peaked like a roof, then cut out 2 doors and some windows. Then I got contact paper and covered it up. That was hard because I had to cut out all the door and window openings. Abby loved it, but then she decided to sleep on the roof - and she collapsed it! She had the Cat House for a few years, and then lost interest. The contact paper started peeling, so I finally tossed it. Maybe I should make a new one - if I can find another big box.

That's so funny, because I was thinking about decorating the Peanut's Palace too! The only thing is I'm not too much of an artist, but I was thinking about drawing some flowers around the bottom - like a little flower garden around her house - and some other little goofy things like that. I haven't yet because first of all I haven't found the time, second of all, I didn't want Terry to think I had totally lost it. But now that I know someone else did it first, it doesn't sound so goofy to me. I'll be sure and post pictures if I ever get around to it. Oh, I just had a great idea while I was writing this. I could find pictures on the internet (like clip art), print them out, then just past them on the box. That would be so much easier than drawing it all. Oh boy, can't wait to get home and get started on it.

Isn't it cute how all our cats fall in love with every carton-box they see ?? Sydney loved to play in boxes , and the smaller they were , the better ...
