Question of The Day. Saturday the 6th of June

Good Morning. Happy Saturday.

A cat related question today.

What cat stuff do you have at home? 

I have five litter boxes, 3 covered, 2 uncovered. Two cat trees, big one and a small one. About 2 dozen bowls, some steel, some plastic. A box full of wand toys, balls, cat nip filled mice and feathery things. Three cardboard boxes will blankets inside as beds/hidey holes and three cat carriers.

Did I miss anything?

Oh yes! A big cage that I used to keep the kitten in when he was tiny, but now doubles as a climbing frame with beds on the top.

I have one big covered box (had two until recently, but only one box was being used), a big cat tree, a small cat tree, two barrel style scratching towers, 3 cat beds, 7 bowls (2 steel with a stand, the rest melamine..I have 6 new steel bowls on the way), 4 melamine plates, shelving in the hall dedicated to cat food, 5 brushes (2 sticker, 2 rubber, 1 hairbrush style), 4 cat carriers of various sizes, Asha's dog crate, small cardboard scratcher, assorted blankets, an old sheepskin rug making a perch on top of a filing cabinet, 3 wand toys with a ton of attachments, various fleece toys with various herbs, 5 pheasant feathers, soft squeaky mouse, a herby kicker style toy, a bit of hare hide (with fur attached) filled with a herb mix, a herby oddly shaped 'dog' toy, plastic and cardboard Kong toy, a toy box, a plastic tower with ping pong balls fixed in it, a 'cat's meow' toy, 4 feather sticks (1 big, 3 feather wagglers), 2 mice made entirely of catnip,...the dining table is Shadow's feeding station - does that count?, a chair that's exclusively Shadow's, 2 water bowls (shared with dogs), fabric 'toothbrushes', rubber finger brush, a self heating fleece covered bed/blanket thing, a radiator bed...umm...that's all I can think of for now. Needless to say - some very spoilt cats live here

Edit:- I forgot...A giant silk fronted cushion Asha claimed as her favourite bed shortly after I got her. I've given up on ever getting it back :lol3:

One box that's in my closet- there's a hole in my bedroom wall that my dad created for them. Out of sight!

One stainless steal water bowl
Two stainless steal food dishes

3 scratching posts- though they never use the big one- thinking about donating it

4 floor scratchers and need more- trying to stop Cassie from scratching the rug

My bed

My couch

A box full of toys- most I had given away since they don't play with them. Their favorites are strewn about

A small bin of treats and nip in my pantry for them

And a cardboard gingerbread house I got from target that monet likes

Umm, too many to count? Besides the necessary supplies (litter box, food and water bowls,food and treats, carriers), I have a 6 ft tall cat tree, a smaller maybe 3 foot cat tree that fits right under the window for bird watching, sturdy boxes from BJs, toys that are mostly ignored, all my furniture, an ignored cat bed.

Wait! It's June 6th not 13th!

Anyhoo, let's see.  2 litter boxes (would do a 3rd but we don't have any good place to put it); 1 tall scratching post, a dedicated bed on the radiator by our big picture window for Cocoabean, a trackball/scratcher, a 3 tier short cat tree near the office window. Too many small, furry, sparkly toys to count off hand, a few wand type (including Da Bird), a laser pointer.  Combs, brushes, furminator. 16 Fiestaware fruit bowls which we've dedicated to their food along with water bowls.  We have that cardboard gingerbread house, 2 "ess's", numerous other boxes scattered around for them.  Oh a puzzle toy which Cocoa decided was a perfect fit to sleep in. 

I'm sure there's more but that's most of what I remember off hand.  Oh and their carriers and...the rugs. I've given up trying to get them to stop clawing at them. They only cost me $100 for both of them (vintage, large Oriental types) so I don't really care what happens to them.

Drat! I was hoping to have that edited before anyone noticed. 

Can I use the excuse that I'm in Japan so there's a big time difference?

Sure, that's good for at least 1-1/2 days difference

I'm surprised I noticed - it's VERY early here.  But you know, cats...

Good morning, Norachan. 

We have:

Six litter boxes for the six kibblecrunchers

We have a litter bench in the kitchen (it's a carpeted long box with an opening in one end with a litter box inside. The top opens on hinges to allow for scooping and removing the box for dumping, cleaning). The carpet is sage green with a white kitty on the front. They love to sit there or lie there and look out the door to the back yard. And when the birds and bunnies come around inside the pool area, the cats go crazy. The other day, a squirrel ran across the deck and Tabby got so excited she fell off the bench. She wasn't hurt, and quickly jumped back on.

Two cat trees (a large one in the living room, a smaller one back in the computer room)

Their toy box, shaped like a big blue mouse. You should see BooBoo nose around inside the box and then see him toss toys around with his paws and his mouth til he finds the toy he wants!

The cat napper is at one of the bedroom windows. When we had the original RugCat clan, we would see as many as four cats in that thing at one time. The new cats (Molli, Tabby, and Muffin) do not associate much with Boo, Pepe, and Amber, nor do they really cuddle with each other, so those days are gone.

A large wicker clothes basket with a queen-size pillow inside. It's for Ms.Pepe and is one of her favorite napping places, esp during the winter when I put a flannel pillow case on the pillow. (The other pillow is on a stand in the computer room, next to the window. It has the matching pillow case and that's Mollipop's favorite spot. When I'm on the computer, Molli is usually sleeping on her pillow....when she's not flopped over my right shoulder.) 

The cats have their own kitty couch. Right now it's back in the bedroom, The seat folds out to give them more room. It's Amber's favorite spot, but we have pictures of all the cats sleeping there at some point in time.

There's a green circular pillow on the living room floor that says, "Quiet please. Cat at work." BooBoo, Banshee, and Whisper used to fight over that pillow. Banshee always won. She would flop on the pillow and the other two would arrange themselves around her, off the pillow, of course....she did not allow sharing.

BooBoo has his treat machine and the kids have their deli-dome. (When we gave Boo his new treat machine, I brought the deli-dome out of storage for the other kids.)

The kids have their mini-aquarium (Amber loves that thing.) I'll get it out for a couple of months and then, after a while, I'll take it apart and put it away again. 

Various scratching posts and pads scattered about the house, various meeces scattered about the house. Several black meeces are on the steps to the basement as I type. Those are Tabby's. Various interactive wand-type toys. And, of course Da Bird! Can't forget Da Bird! And their laser lights.

We have a huge mobile that we used to attach to the kitchen ceiling light. We had to take it apart and put it away.....it scared the cats, more than anything. And it really got in my way in the kitchen!

Muffin has her stroller. It's a pet stroller that we got for her when she was still Mom's cat. That way, when Mom was outside sitting with her friends, Muffin could be outside, too. I take Muffin and her stroller to my sister's 2-3 times a week and she and I will walk through town. Less traffic than the road in front of our house. I've only managed to take her walking once so far this summer as there's been too much other stuff going on. I'm hoping to get her out more often because she loves her walks.

Several bottles of catnip bubbles. The cats are somewhat intrigued by the bubbles, but not overly so. 

Two cat trees, 3 scratching posts, 2 turbo scratchers, 3 litter boxes, a small carpeted thing that they could climb inside of when they were kittens Patches still jumps on top of it and uses it like a scratching post.  Lots of food and water bowls.  A litter pan that was never used as such, it has their toys in it,  two little beds that they sometimes sleep in, a crinkly leopard print tube they can run through and hide in and two connected cubes they can also hide in.

Hi, I'm a newbie to this site but I've been looking after cats for over 20yrs, I currently have an 8yr old miniature longhaired tortoiseshell Queen (who I took in as an orphan at 3wks of age when my mother passed over), her 3yr old strapping ginger and white Tom and a 2yr old tabby Queen who is at present weaning 4 cute 5wk old kittens (1 white and black male (who will be staying with us in his forever home), 2 longhaired tortoiseshell girls and a tiny tabby girl) my home is strewn with cat toys, climbing frames and scratch posts/play houses, large cardboard tubes and little boxes for playing hide'n seek in, cat brushes, beds and blankets, litter trays, food and water bowls and plenty of children and me with time to play with them all...

I have one covered litter box since I only have one cat.  I have multiple bowls, some I use every day and others are in the cabinet as back up.   There is one scratching post and a cat cave that she really loves and sleeps in a lot during the day.  She has toys all over the place and a couple of string toys, one of which is hanging from the back door and she messes with it as she is passing.  The other one we play with together. I think that's all of it.   Oh yeah she has a favorite blankie on the couch which she sleeps on half the night before joining me in bed

We don't have much room, so not much cat stuff, but we are moving to a bigger place soon so maybe we can all stretch out a bit. 

We have one litter box, one cat tower, two cat beds, and one cardboard cat bed. We also have a couple of cardboard cat scratching things on the floors. I just bought two new ones for the new place.

All of it? LOL. I think at least half of what I own is cat stuff :tongue2:. Or at least pet stuff. I wouldn't be able to begin listing it .

Actually :lol3: (apart from the dog stuff and horse stuff )

Pretty much everything in my house belongs to my cats. Too much too list.    Even my drinking cups, if I'm not careful, will be used a paw-washing cup.

What you mean is, a couple of things in the cats' house belong to you. 

Let's see... 3 cats so we have:

5 litterboxes- 3 covered and 2 uncovered

2 cat trees- one big one with 2 cubbies for Lilith and Sophie in the living room and Henry has his own in his room with one cubby

2 fountains. One Pioneer Pet stainless Big Max in the kitchen and one Pioneer Pet black ceramic Raindrop in Henry's room

3 food dishes shaped like black cat faces.

1 kitty cave made from a large plastic Sterilite tote turned on it's side with a blanket in it to make it more cozy

1 standard kitty cave from Amazon

Numerous toys of all kinds. Wands, squeaky toys, light up toys, catnip toys, etc

Numerous windowsills to lay on and spy on the world from

1 kitchen table that used to be mine but has become a cat feeding station. Sophie doesn't like when I put anything other than the cat food dishes on the table and she expresses her feelings by scratching at the offending item until I get annoyed by the sound it makes and move the item.

1 large rolltop desk that is in Henry's room that I put his Antser and food fish on. All cat food needs to be off the ground or the dog will eat it

1 microfiber blanket that used to be my favorite that has become Sophie's favorite. It is now hers of course. I got myself another one.

The Fortress of Solitude AKA the area on the TV stand behind the living room TV where Sophie likes to hide. Nothing else is allowed back there just like nothing else is allowed on the kitchen table. I had the box for the Amazon Fire TV back there along with the Surge protector/battery back up. As soon as Sophie decided that that was her area, she proceeded to push them onto the floor. Since the surge protector couldn't be knocked off with just a swat of her paw, she pushed it off using both her back feet while lying behind the TV. "Oopsie! Did I do that?"
