Wonton has one cat tree, about twenty or so catnip mice, cat dancers, and various other toys. a big container of catnip which he gets a dip of daily, he's free-fed dry food and also gets cat treats, and he gets snuggles/laptime whenever he wants it. he sleeps with us at night too..he basically rules the roost

Don't u worry. My condos came from wal-mart. I only replaced my tree w/something more expensive b/c I wanted somethign that would last a bit longer than the 35 dollar one.

My cats have...
- a cleaning staff (me!)
- unlimited use of many beds (two of them being cat-only, the other ones they have to share with the cleaning staff)
- breakfast and supper provided to them for free, every day.
- birds, squirrels outside the window, and moving shadows on the wall providing hours of free entertainment.
- health care and grooming

Not much for material possessions (toys from the dollar store, shelves built for them to become their bed...)
But they get all the services described above for free.

I wish I was a cat!

...and a meowmy who will lay curled up in one position the whole night just so she doesn't disturb the sleeping kitties at the foot of the bed...

Limerick gets an escot to his food bowl and lap time whenever he wants. He alo get picked up for lap time... why would anyone ever jump to go on a lap. Doors are always open, andopen on his command. He has tons of toys he doesn't play with and he get tuna every morning. I almost forgot...3 catnip filled scratching pads 2 scratching posts and 2 ultra soft baby blankets, and the freedom to sleep where ever even whenthat means getting kicked out of my own bed.

Each cat has his/her own bowl.

Stinkie has to have fresh water in a clean bowl (his blue bowl) at least once at night, after his curfew, on the kitchen counter away from the other cats before he will attempt to drink it.

Thumper likes to have her butt petted. She actually backs up to people expecting them to rub her butt. If she gets her way, her front two feet start to kind of jiggle in place.


Each cat has to be walked over to the food bowl before he/she will even think about eating out of it. And if there's dry cat food in there already, more dry has to be added first. So yea, we do all that.

We have the scratching posts, the cat beds, the catnip (moderately), the cat toys, brushes, combs, treats, etc. scattered all over the house.

Even though we have cat beds, they insist on sleeping in the real bed. If one of them takes your spot, then your either going to scoot over or sleep in the floor because there is no way I'm allowing the royalty to be disturbed.


Sometimes when they are outside, they decide to come knocking on the front door for me to let them in, go through the house to the back door, and meow for me to let them out, so that they don't have to walk all the way around the house from the front yard to the back yard.
(Oh, and Stinkie has actually learned how to open the screen door from inside or outside! I'm so proud!
)
