    Cats and lamps

    What is it about lamps and cats?
    You may remember The Mystery of the Murdered Lamp Read it here. The culprit was never convicted due the number of ”shady” characters involved. Well, now another innocent lamp is being attacked.

    I made this lamp a few years ago for my sister. I took a sheet of perforated copper and wired it together into a column. Then I put a piece of PVC piping up the middle and wrapped it with little white lights. I took it over to my sister’s house. She hated it on sight so it came back to my house. We like the gentle “mood” lighting it produces so we put it in the dining room. It has sat there for 3 or 4 years now minding its own business.

    Daytime: Nighttime:

    A few days ago, Bobcat was sitting at the dining room table working on some drawings for a book he is illustrating. Now, the kitties in our house are not allowed on any counter or table. And they pretend to abide by that rule whenever we’re around. But, one very curious kitty couldn’t stand not seeing what Bobcat was working on, so she climbed the lamp and sat up on the top of the cabinet where she could hang over like a vulture and supervise her Bobcat.

    Can you guess which kitty climbs the lamp?

    1. Is it Halo? The “my back legs don’t exactly work right so I have to pretty much use my front claws to climb” kitty?
    2. Is it Cammie? The “you’ve got to be kidding, I’m not moving until I’ve gotten at least 12 more hours of sleep” kitty? or
    3. Is it Pepper? The “fence walking, balcony leaping, roof jumping, my heart murmur doesn’t slow me down at all” kitty?

    I voted Pepper.
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    I love that lamp! It is so different and the lighting looks so soft!
    My guess?

    I suppose the evidence points towards Pepper, but maybe she is being framed...

    This, along with the fact that cats never cease to amaze us, is the reason I picked Halo.

    Who did it? My guess was Halo because I see all the stuff Madame Flutterby gets into with just climibing using her front claws

    Princess Pepper is the lamp climber. Halo doesn't like high places. Cammie is too busy sleeping. Pepper likes to climb as high as possible whenever possible. She's our little daredevil kitty.

    I guessed Halo because I thought she would be more likely to be clumsy than Pepper.

    The light from the lamp looks lovely! Very atmospheric.
