Planning for the cats

[or going overboard] (* updated 15 Jan - I’ve officially gone overboard :-)
Although they’ll probably sleep on the bed with me, as their breed is known to do, They have a couple of beds… One covered, with a little dangling ball, and the other, open and very comfortable…

One covered bed, one open bed.

I bought some “pet grass” seed at the pet store and I’ve been trying to grow it, I thought it was supposed to grow faster… maybe I didn’t put enough seed down. I’ll have to give it a few more days.

Everyone needs a proper place to eat, so I’ve set up a little cat dining room. I have plans on putting a curtain there to dress it up a bit.

[update 15 Jan] - The curtains are up. I need to iron them, but I like the way it looks. The cats, of course, will have no idea that the curtains are there, but I like them ;-)

The astute reader might have noticed the cat hole in the previous picture. As it turns out, that has been here the whole time that I’ve lived here. The previous owners had a whole bunch of cats. This cat hole will be the the entry to the litter.

I haven’t exactly sorted out how the litter box will go, but I’ve got two, and plenty of space for them. I’ll only leave one out day-to-day. I’ll use the second for when I have to go away for a few days.

When the cats aren’t eating or pooping they’ll have plenty to play with. I’ve gotten them a box FILLED with all kinds of cat toys.

And a cat tree that goes from floor to ceiling. The two puffy platforms on the top are pouches so they can curl up.

There is also two pair of cushions that they can sit on. One set is by my desk, facing the window so they can hang out while I work and look out the window.

The other set is in the living room, next to the couch. These are going to be some spoiled kitties :-)

[update 15 Jan] - Everyone needs to travel in style. I found a really soft throw pad that, when folded in half, fits exactly in the carrier.

    You are totally going overboard… and I would expect no less!! Can’t wait to see pics of your new family members once they get there.

    you are out of control. keep your receipts. they prefer the plastic tear off safety thing from the top of gallon milk jugs and they while nap on anything that contrasts with the surface its on regardless of how uncomfortable you think it might be (for example a random piece of wood on the floor).
