Sisal Saturday

Kitties!
Maui here.
I'm in a tent on the sofa...can you tell?
Tents are rockin' good fun.
Sooooo....Guess what Daddy did today? He went to the Home Improvement store and bought some sisal rope.

Here's a picture...
Grayce! Get your bum outta the way!
sheesh!

There, that's MUCH better.
Thanks for posing, KonaKitty!


Kitties, you may remember on Monday we posted about Daddy doing some roadwork on our skyways. The section between the Blue and Red roads was bare wood...but today Daddy wrapped it with sisal rope!
For our mid-race scratching pleasure!



Look how far up our skyway is! Believe it or not, it took 75 feet of rope to wrap this section of road. Daddy soaked the sisal in water before he wound it, so it would dry nice and tight, and then stapled it into the wood to make it extra safe for us.
Helloooooo, down there!




Here is the first sisal ramp that Daddy made for us.


And a shot of the ramp looking up up up!



Daddy bought extra rope, which is a good thing.
Looks like he's got another project coming up soon.
heh heh.



Kitties, now I gotta get some sleep. Daddy's all done for the day and it's time for a little Man on ManCat time.


Happy Saturday!
Remember--play, snuggle and do some lovins' on your People.

  3. Your catio is so great, and your Daddy is so good to you. Maybe if I get 11 siblings we can get a place like that, with sky runways, ramps, and all. Sigh ............

  12. Hmmmm, our Moms use sisal to make some of our cat trees better, but they never heard of soaking it in water before wrapping it. They are going to try that next time!
    Your skyway is pawsome and so is your Dad!

  15. In that last picture, it looks like you Daddy hurt his finger fixing up all this sisal stuff for you kitties! No sacrifice is too great if it's something for your cats.

    You are certainly lucky to have such a loving and caring Daddy, and a handy one, too!

    What a fantastic place you have to live! Your environment is suPURR enriched!

  20. You have one of the best daddies in the whole wide world and your mommy ain't too bad either. ♥

    Most of all you are all loved so much and taken care of so well that you are very happy babies in a wonderful home.

    My mommy loves me like that and takes good care of me and I show her love right back. I know you show mommy and daddy love as well. Aren't we lucky kitties?

  26. Can we borrow your dad?? Ours is useless when it comes to making us stuff. Mom tries, but she's not very handy with tools and stuff either. We wanna highway in the sky!!

  30. Sisal rope is one of the best things ever! We only haf it on one place, but rumor says The Big Thing is buyin a lot more of it fer a project for us...

    ReplyDelete
  31. What I want to know is, Where did you get those Humans of yours? And, can I trade mine in somewhere?

    Because you know, I don't even HAVE a skyway or a Catio, and she has never built me a d*mn thing! I don't think she even knows what sisal rope is, or how to use a stapler for that matter.

    AND she has been totally neglecting my blogging and visiting needs. How much is a bus ticket from San Francisco to Las Vegas?

  32. Wow! Disneyland for these lucky kitties. Jules and Vincent are totally envious!
