I finally got around to saving the pictures and downloading them...
DH and I spent many hours on the recent Passover holiday updraging our little house to improve the quality of life for our cats. We have 4 cats - Mishsmish, Gezer, Romeo and Dudy - and Mishmish is the kind of girl who doesn't get along well with other cats (except for Gezer who has joined her when she was just a little kitten). She gets upset when Romeo and Dudy come inside any room where she is. We have a very small house and we felt it might be a bit too crowded for 4 cats. Not being able to add more rooms
, we decided to add some vertical space for the cats.
We bought some shelving wood and prepared a chain of shelves for the cats to climb onto. The cats go around our kitchen/living room/dining room (that's the same room basically
) and the cats can climb up and down at both ends. On one end we created a three shelves descent. On the other side they can jump onto the kitchen cupboards and from there to the fridge and the kitchen counters (yes - they are allowed
).
Here are some pictures of the new and highly popular kitty trail. Mind you, it took them a couple of days (and some catnip to guide them) to get the hang of it but now all of them except for Romeo, take the hike everyday.
Kitchen cupboard to window #1.
Window #1 to air conditioner
Over the AC's wall Air
To the book shelf... (Hubby's creation) and onto the bridge that takes them across the window. Note how the book shelf's side is also covered with the same kind of carpet as the shelves - that's an extra scratching post and very loved.
From the bridge - the three shelves decsent (and Dudy playing with the toy that we put up there for them - toy since long gone...)
