Easy on Sunday

Kitties!

Here's your Sunday Status Report:

Felix was sleeping in apartment "A".

 He didn't want photographic evidence of his residence.

Do you see him complaining?

He flopped down on the concrete...

...where the pawparazzi ruthlessly persued him.

Check out the big box!

Who's in there?

It's Miss KonaKitty!

This box is SO excellent I don't mind the flashy box.

Daddy cut out a window!

Don't worry, this box is from our neighbor's house...our hot water heater is OK.

(Whew!)

Grayce snuggles with Mommy.

Grayce needs clippy claws.

She's piercing poor Mommy's chestal protuberances.

There are three ManCats in the Little Out.

Two of them (Rupert & Maui) are sworn enemies.

For some reason, Rupert is OK with cohabitating.

Or he's too petrified to move!

heh heh.

Johnny spots the pawparazzi!

 Maui wakes up to see what's going on.

Daddy, let me in!

I don't want to use the Evil Flap.

Kitties, we hope your Sunday is Fine!

Tuesday in the "Little Out"

Kitties!

We have something different to show you today.

When Mommy & Daddy first moved into their "new" house in Las Vegas there was a doggie door on the West side of the house, and Daddy rigged up a wire enclosure so we could go outside for some fresh air and do our business in the litterboxes. It was only four feet tall, which was plenty high for us but pretty hard for Mommy to move around in and scoop.

On the Southwest side of the Great Room there's a "divot" on the room where the corner of the house comes in but it's under roof outside.

It was perfect for a Cat enclosure for us. So some strangers came and installed screening and a People door in the divot space.

Here's Felix relaxing out there:

To the left of the photo (where you can't see) there's a door to the outside. That's Mommy's treadmill handle you see...and you might notice we don't have a ginormous kiddy wading pool for a litterbox. That's because there were only six of us at the time.

This is what the area looked like right after it was screened in:

Pretty rough. But Daddy knew he would fix it up nice for us. The first thing he did was install a Cat flap for us so we could go in and out, in and out, in and out.

After the first winter went by Mommy & Daddy decided that they needed a windbreak for the Cat flap...

And that's the chest thingy on the right.

It has a lift up lid on the left hand side so Mommy can get in it to vacuum up our furs.

Here's our Cat flap...

And the inside of the chest, as seen from the flap. There's a second Cat flap (on the left) leading to the enclosure, and the chest blocks the hot and cold Las Vegas winds.

After the big Catio was built, Mommy & Daddy started calling the enclosure the "Little Out". It's still very popular, especially on winter afternoons, where it's protected from the wind and sunny.

The chest had been christened the "Lobby". As you can see, the Lobby is a very popular hangout. Scouty in particular likes to sleep in the Lobby, and when Mommy opens up the Cat flap and startles him he hisses. So the Lobby is also known as the "Hissy Hut".

And there you have it!

Our other outdoor hangout.

So if you come over and don't see us on the Catio, don't panic! Check the Little Out and the Hissy Hut...we might be there, instead.

Happy Tuesday, Kitties!
