Cathouse

No, our house has not turned into a "real" cathouse like my Mother thinks it has, but I have found the perfect house for our stray cats. At lunch today I went to this one pet store that I was pretty certain would have the wood "dog" houses that I was looking for. I didn't see any in the store, but I did see one plastic one that looked very much like wood. The price was $179, but the guy said he would sell it to me for $100. When I told him I needed to think about it he said they had some wooden houses outside in the back. I went out back and found the perfect house. $60 was in the price range I wanted to spend. And to make things even better, it matches the color of our house. Turns out there is a little bit of damage to the roof (very minor) and I got $10 off. $50 for a winter house for our strays is just perfect. Now I can rest easy at night knowing that our outside babies have a warm place to sleep in the long winter nights. I wonder if they will mind if I decorate it for the holidays?

Here's the front of the house. I already put a towel in there and their food. I am hoping that will get them used to it.

And look who went in there after I put a can of cat food in there. That would be Billie Jean (the baby). She wasn't scared at all. Blacky (Papa) let me pick him up and I tried to put him in the house. Him putting his claws out was my sign that he needed to go in on his own time.
