Just finished reading an article that suggests house cats need stimulation and don’t sleep as much as reported. That’s not news to me as Jean Claude demands midnight play. I was looking for a tunnel to give JC and KoKo another option for play. it’s been suggested I simply build one.
This Memorial Day Weekend, I’m spending time with my mom ” Miss Georgia” and the family. Couldn’t help but notice the giant monster plant has made a comeback. The plant in mom’ s living room fell off the table mysteriously in the middle of the night two years ago and was thought was gone forever (Planticide – July 18, 2010). After the fall what was left of the plant was placed in a medium sized jar of water on the family room table, later repotted and placed back in the living room. Now the plant is enormous, somewhat less menacing than before, (no scales so far) and quite glorious . That’s the thing about reinvention – sometimes it’s incremental and it often yields glorious results.
People have always heard stories about heroic dogs but hero cats? Yep Tara the Hero Cat from Bakerfield, California has been making the talk show rounds, after saving her 4-year old owner from a voracious dog. Of course us cat lovers have known for years that cats provide a sense of security and that often their small unseen efforts are almost heroic. Here in Washington, D.C. Jean Claude, the black Bombay and Koko, the celebrity cat who provide comfort and support for their owners are big fans of Tara.
As many of you know Koko and Jean Claude divide their time between my house and CCL’s house. Lately however, they have acquired some real estate in my house – in fact Jean Claude recently built a second story. There are companies such as “Four Paws” that build such houses for cats.
