NEW Hotel Cat-lifornia?? photos of construction added!

[Pam]

I am a little late seeing this thread. Your family has grown considerably since the last time I checked in - instant family - sort of like the octomom. Aren't you the clever one with your carpentry skills! I am smiling because the top of anything (even a nicely constructed kitty condo with a cozy interior) is so appealing. Great pics and story Richard! I will stay tuned. What does Eddie think?

I will stay tuned. What does Eddie think?

Hokay,

I have to confess something.
Ed loves it. When the kittehs go running late at night, Ed notices the motion detector lights going on and off. He darts to all the windows to see where they are..

I have to be careful that he does not run out the door when I come back in
from walking around outdoors, so I do a little peek inthru the window and use my feet, legs to block any attempt of escape when I open up.

Two days ago I lit a little fire and had an old fire place poker in my hand-just to move the few pieces of wood around. I wanted to get my water bottle from the kitchen.

Ed was at the door, so I opened it up and used the poker to block is progress.


What do you get when you 'poke' a white cat with a sooty fire place poker?

A laugh a minute?



I tried to wipe it off, but made it worse......he still has a splotch of black on his face.

I start to laugh every time I look at him.

(I didn't poke him-I used the poker as a blocker...)

CM,
You are welcome-they are burrowing their way into my heart.

Aww, Richard, you big ole softy!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

-they are burrowing their way into my heart.

e-yup! first your heart then they invade your house!!! Trust me! I know!!!

Pretty soon they will come in with their suitcases and ask, "Which room is mine and when do we eat?"

[RICHARD]

We've just had a little rain out here and I moved the "hotel" under cover....

Occupied all night long.....Tomorrow I will start work on the second stories.

I agree!

Pretty soon they will come in with their suitcases and ask, "Which room is mine and when do we eat?"

Maybe they will assume that every room is theirs!

[katladyd]

Yeah, they tend to do that, don't they? I hope Richard knows what he is getting into.

SHUT UP!!! All of you!

There was a small storm that passed thru the area and I was checking on my charges all night long.

I think they were pi$$ed that I kept flipping the top up to see who was in there!

The have taken to sitting on the 'roof' and hanging out there!

The two story cat condo with rood patio sunning area.

And nary a drop of blood shed in it's construction!

[cassiesmom]

Come down from there, you little black and white kitteh! That is too high for a widdle one like you!

I am impressed! Your little frens are very lucky!

iwish I had some carpentry skills Richard and had a way of getting the raw materials home. I could build a Found Cat Porchie Retreat so noone got cold during the Long Winter Months!

I wish I had a two story retreat like that.
Maybe my contractor neighbor can build something like that!

[Pinot's Mom]

Richard, I love the patio sunning area! Maybe the little black and white will prefer that (I know, that's the point, but you never know!) to the roof.
You're doing a great deed for those kitties!
