Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This


Cal and Maizy Grace
It was a great weekend for fall bazaars and yard sales. Look what the lady got for $3 from a yard sale over the weekend. It was a baby doll bunk bed. However, when she saw it she automatically thought, that's a cat bed!! It needed a little bit of work, like plywood to go across the slats so we don't fall through and a little spray paint. Then she made removable mattress covers out of pink towels and ribbons.

She also bought an old, very dirty, bench for $5. She cleaned it up and put on a new coat of paint and pillows across the back. It is used for storage and extra seating in the living room for humans, but to us it is just another cat bed. She purposely did not add cushions to the seat of this one to make it less enticing to us kitties. We can just knock down the pillows and use those as cat beds.

We have about 6-7 actual cat beds in the living room alone and plenty others scattered about the house. However, no matter how many beds we have we would still rather nap on the counters and the sofa. We have heard a rumor that they might remove the pool table in the loft and make it a whole cat play/napping area for us!

**BREAKING NEWS......Cal is going to the vet this morning at 9:45. He began vomiting yesterday and this morning the vomit was pink (blood tinged.) We are hoping the pink vomit is just caused from an irritation to the lining of the stomach from vomiting so much. We believe the vomiting began because he is sensitive to his new food. We did the gradual switch like you are supposed to, but he may be allergic to it. I will post an update after the visit. Cal is a notorious bad boy at the vet. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the worst, they have him as a 12!**
