One thing my cat Kimba seems to miss in the new place is window seating. I thought she would enjoy viewing trees, birds, and the ocassional deer from the bedroom, but instead prefers keeping tabs on building visitors and the number 15 bus from the living room. My sills are narrow and the casement windows rule out most feline shelving so I had to resort to carpeted cat furniture to provide comfortable viewing options. Fortunately a small mom and pop company in Gainesville let me pick a carpet color other than beige! She barely let me get her
new perch out of the box before she climbed to the top and behaved as though I had dropped ecstasy in her water bowl.
Of course then I felt badly that my other cat Nicky did not have his own perch but was reluctant to devote any more real estate to cat furniture so I ordered
Feline Cloud Shelves. They have been more of a hit with people rather than the cats. I had to coax Nicky on the shelves with catnip and he only ocassionally uses them. Now that the leaves are falling there is a better view of the neighboring complex's trash dumpster out the back window so there is hope the clouds will catch on.
