What I initially imagined to be a temporary, quick turnaround situation (scoop up cats, get to vet, get neutered/spayed, get homes) is now starting to look like a longer term initiative. With sick cats...lack of vet availability...the holidays...well, time to just admit that the basement spare bedroom that doubles as the workout room needs to now triple time as a cat foster room as well.
And, while it's got plenty of room, windows and natural light are at a premium. I can also tell that some of the cats prefer to be up high. Jackson Galaxy, who's made a name for himself as a "cat whisperer" with shows like "Cat From Hell", calls these tree dweller cats.
So, it was time to do some catifying of the cat foster room, which included getting a cat tree. Funny to think that my own, actual cats don't have one and that's primarily because they just never took to any that I've had. And maybe that's because they have a bay window, the back of a couch and other places around the house to perch and sit.
With my son home from college, we tag teamed on putting together the cat tree that I purchased. It was an easy assemble and fit the space as I'd imagined, with the possibility of getting all the way to the top perch and into the window well to peer outside.
I was surprised at how quickly all three kitties - Samwise, Fiona and Blaze - all took to it and started exploring.
At a premium are the two nesting boxes. Everyone loves the nesting boxes!
So, yeah, cat tree is a big hit!
