My SO and I both graduated from law school last month and are spending the summer studying for the bar exam. We are staying at his parents' vacation home while we study for the exam. The place is huge and full of nice furniture, so Matilda and Chloe have been given their own "suite" upstairs (a kids' playroom, usually, above the garage). I feel bad that they are up there all day. It's a huge room about the size of our old apartment, but I still feel bad. Matilda is fine because she sleeps all day anyway, but Chloe wants to get out and explore and has been camping out by the door just waiting for it to open.

So out of guilt, I went to Target in search of something to keep Chloe entertained (in addition to all the toys she already has). I bought this little play jungle for only $25. She seems to really like it and for the price it's not bad. I wouldn't recommend it for heavier cats though because it's not the sturdiest thing in the world. A picture of the box (lol):


Here is the whole thing put together, I was quite proud of this because it took forever!! They didn't include instructions and it looks easy, but the parts didn't seem to match up the right way. (Oh, and that's the Trendy Cat scratcher next to it, Chloe loves that thing because it's tall and she can really stretch out on it).


She loves to look out the window, there are lots of squirrels and other animals out there (coyotes, black bears....ick).


Nom Nom Nom


Kitty Attacks


Poking her head up through the 2-level kitty condo


All tired out...(she has quite the main in this picture, lol)


Does anyone else think she looks awfully small for an almost-10-month-old kitty? She is supposed to be 10 months old around June 15th.

The carpet is short, but it's not really hard. They each have their own Sleepypod (http://www.meowme.com), plus there is a double bed in the room that Matilda has taken over. Also a pile of blankets that Matilda has claimed as her own.

I love Chloe's little feet too
I didn't post it but I took a picture of them up close because I just think they are so cute. She is all fluff for sure, she has always been tiny. She was a stray for the first month of her life so maybe that has something to do with it.

My husband and I almost bought one of those today, but ended up picking something else!
It looks like tons of fun for kitty! What we did get has a bell on a string that hangs down in the center. Ringo is loving that! Something tells me that mommy and daddy won't be getting much sleep tonight...

I bought something like that on clearance a couple of years ago (same company, different model). I put it together recently for my foster babies, and you're right, it's a bear to put together! The instructions consist of three drawings, which is inadequate considering there were about 100 pieces.
I had to assemble/disassemble/reassemble it 3 times before I got it right!

That looks brilliant!. Chloe is such a pretty little girl


I wouldn't worry about her size because theres a little girl 3 doors up from me who's just over a year old and she's tiny compaired to my girls, and Jack is bigger than both of the girls and he's just over a year old

How much does she weigh?
The last time I weighed her she only weighed 6 but I think she's put on some weight since then so my best guess would be just under 7. She was right on par with the whole lb./month thing until 5-6 months when she was under. I still feed her kitten food (Wellness Kitten dry, Nutro Max kitten wet).
