Went into the pet store in Havelock, about an hour from here, where I am occassionally scheduled to work. What immediately caught my eye was a display of lovely cat tent beds. Upon closer examination, I learned that all of the proceeds for the beds support research to investigate treatments and promote awareness of feline leukemia. The nonprofit organization called the Marley Fund was founded in 2001 by a woman when she lost her beloved marbled orange tabby, Marley, of complications from this terrible deadly virus. Each bed is slightly different and is in honor of a victim of FeLV. We have the Janis Tent. A picture of Janis was attached to the bed. She is a beautiful calico who lost her life in 1996 due to FeLV. Just in case anyone wonders, I'm not promoting this organization, but believe everyone will be happy to know about the work being done to find a cure.
When I brought home the bed, I figured at best Sierra would consider it a rare cave for exploration and at worst (and most likely) it would make a lovely decoration.
Actually, I thought I would end up giving it to my cat group since we have many, many kittens right now and some of them could use a soft bed. Either way, it was for a good cause. I brought it in and put it down, ignoring it like it wasn't there. At first, Sierra checked it out a little, and I thought that would be that. Would you imagine my utter shock
when a few minutes later, I didn't see her anywhere and found her cuddled in her bed!
She spent the rest of the evening, and most of her free time since, snuggled up in there!
Hmmm, what's this?
