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

[catmandu]

Actually Richard there are a number of Cat Food Companies who have little tents as premiums , and I think they would be great forthe Hotel Cat-Lifornians to get out of the rain.
With all your vistors you might have to get some cardboard boxes from the grocery stores and sent up a Lost Cats Housing Development!!!

[RICHARD]

Cardboard?

No, A big bad wolf can come by and it's all over!

I cut out the roof and will finish the whole thing on sunday.

Already have potential tenants.

You might have to build a few additions Richard, that Calico seems to have staked her claim on that prime Hotel Cat-Lifornia Property.

And with home prices in California being what they are, Your Lost Cat Friends getting quite the bargain!!!

I LOVE this thread....I can't wait to see the additions!! What amazing accomidations you provide!!! You would think they are staying at the Ritz....Love it!! Keep up the good work...Your babies are adorable how can you not fall in love???

[RICHARD]

LOL,

I came home from school and did my rounds to check on the little ones.

I walked out side and saw this.......

Now,

I have to build up!

And when I cropped the pic I saw the other cat..waiting for her turn?

You just may have to build a complex, complete with clubhouse. See what you started?

Dude,

I already have a plan in mind and soon I will be posting a thread where people can pick the colors and other 'options'.


Today was a pretty fun day.

Here at the end of it all?The Dodgers win and I make a drink and I made a little fire outdoors and was soon entertained beyond all sense of 'Cat Ownership". There's still enough Summer in the Air to enjoy the early evening and not have to worry about a sweater.

Next door, I hear kids playing in a bounce/jumper thing that you can rent for parties. A few doors down on the other street there is a band playing.

It's in Espanol and I can't make out the words, but it's woman and a man singing and they are really good.

I turn around and there are three kittehs sitting at the outer edge of the fire's glow. No sooner than I turn my back, there's one of the cats sitting about 5 feet away from the, taking in the warmth. I covered the fire and had to spritz the area to chase the little AH away!

Oh, just before that? I watched one of them dig a hole dead ahead of the trash can I put there, take a dump, then spend about 3 minutes trying to bury the "offense".

Everyone was fed earlier, the kittehs-who were somewhat intolerant of my effing oafishness before - now run far enough away from me to make me feel monstorous, but stop to listen to me talk to them and to laugh at my demands for an audience.


I just want to scritch them.

I'm tired and the last week was a kind of a downer, but dang, living with cats, in the Hotel Cat-lifornia has gotta be the best thing on the planet.

I think they like the company as well. Well, it's that or the food.

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?

[cassiesmom]

They like it, they really like it! Richard, thank you so much for taking care of the outside kittehs!

[RICHARD]

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.

[orangemm]

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!!!

[katladyd]

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.
