Ungrateful beast

Cats are unique in that they do what they want to do regardless of what you want them to do. That's been a hard lesson for me to learn.

Yesterday Jack and I ventured into the city to do a little shopping. I wanted to look for some new shoes and maybe pick up something for the Cats to play with, after all they do need something to spark them to play and exercise now and then. We stopped at petco and found ourselves deep into the bowls of the store wandering about in the cat section. I never knew there could be so many different kinds of fuzzy mice. Ones that squeak, ones that scurry across the floor, ones that pop out of the holes in plastic cheese...I admit that one did look fun!

What I was looking for was something they could all three enjoy and would be fun and functional for them. What I did notice right away is that most of the toys, beds and play tree's are made for normal sized cats. We had to keep in mind that Priscilla (the calico) has a pretty large middle, beginning and end. She wasn't going to fit into some of the things with small holes or be able to climb to the top of most the cat tree's. We also had to keep in mind that Layla is thinner and more active and would find some stuff very boring. We weren't worried about Gert to much, she rarely moves off the end of the bed anyway.

After spending a good part of the afternoon looking at every possible option and ruling out several, we did settle on something we knew they would all three enjoy. I've included a picture:

As you can see, this box was perfect! It had a window and everything! The good part was the box came with a fuzzy tunnel thing that Jack and I can use to decorate our living room with! Jack thought maybe we can use it as feet warmers or store our slippers in it. It's great...it looks wonderful and fits right in with the large cat tree and cat bed that they NEVER use! I'm not bitter! I'm just confused! Oh well....I still love them.

Here are some really cute pictures of a few odd moments that they actually have played with anything we bought them that wasn't a box:

Well thanks for stopping by! I'm off to find some more boxes!
