Three Cat Thursday

Wizard, Nick and Owen share

the bowl

and maintain their personal space boundaries.

This way, no one gets walloped.

The Grand Opening!

The cat enclosure was officially closed in January

The piles of snow coming off the roof made it fairly inaccessible

By late last week the piles of snow melted quite a bit

But looking inside, you can see winter had taken it's toll. One ramp snapped in two and the entry ramp pulled down from the window. Several shelf brackets bent forward.

WE WANT OUT!!!

After some shoveling, MamaLindy got to work Friday morning. The first day of her vacation.

By 4:30 that afternoon, it was open for business!

With many new upgrades! More shelves, higher shelves, more ramps and two ladders!

We still have some snow to deal with...

But the new high ramps make great sun bathing spots.

Next year, MamaLindy will put a cover over the enclosure like we did our first year at Marshwood Cottage.

Mr Lazy Pants and the Peaceable Kingdom

Such well behaved boys eating on the table!

And then there's Mr. Lazy Pants!

Snafu doesn't eat this way all the time, but he does eat separated from the others (as does Penny). 

A peaceable kingdom is our goal.

It's Time for Lunch!

No, not prisoners...

Every morning all the kitties go into the bedroom so that Snafu can come out of his room, have a peaceful breakfast and spend some one on one time with me.

Then, when it's lunch time, everycat is ready to come out and eat!

We're hungry!!!

By this time of day, Snafu has found a napping spot that is out of the path of other kitties, and the delicate balance is maintained.

Thanks for stopping by!

Prizes in the Mail

The kitties of Marshwood Cottage won the Giveaway sponsored by 15AndMeowing.com and were very intrigued by the smell of this neat little package!

Penny and Angus were the first on the scene.

When I opened the package Penny took first rights of inspection as befits her queendom.

Owen, of course couldn't resist wanting to know.

But Penny made it known it was her nip mat until she was finished.

After Penny gave it up, Wizard had a look-see.

Then finally Owen got his chance.

I didn't realized Angus was waiting patiently in the wings for his chance...

to abscond with the whole mat!

Angus wasn't taking any chances...

He wanted to inspect the mat in private!

No teeny tiny sniffy sniffy for Angus!

He wanted the full nip mat experience! Look at those glowing eyes in his reflection!

Penny eventually found him out and took back her rights.

So Angus did the next best thing and played with the packaging!

A big thank you to 15AndMeowing.com for the fun!
