Noch Schneeballen

Strombeek and Louie have been working on flattening the Schneeballen Fort like they like to do with packing paper.

Rather, Strombeek is.  Louie is busy leaping past and taunting her becaue she can't leap so high or elegantly.

Ein Strombeek Schneeballen

Strombeek found something between the cat castle and the paper packing nest. It reminds me of  the schneeballen in structure--a bavarian desert like funnel cake--but molded into a ball.

The Enrichment Box

Just like animals at the zoo, house cats need enrichment. Otherwise they (um, Strombeek) get lazy and fat.

I'd picked some catnip growing in the yard, but they just kicked it around the house and made a big mess. Until I put it in this box...and added some toys and packing paper--their favorite!

Arthur's B-Day

The only thing Strombeek loves more than cake is candles.

Litter Box Update

Strombeek is like, yeah, this is the new litter box.  This is where I poop.

New Litter Box!!!

Is it a new Cat Castle? The Ultra ScoopFree Cat Castle?

Smack Down

Since the Cat Castle burned down, this paper bag and packing paper are all the cats have left.

The Roof, The Roof, The Roof is on Fire

Strombeek was just kicking it out in front of the cat castle one evening, when the next thing she knew...

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from Strombeek and Louie!

       (And their winged minions!) They can't wait for the trick-or-treaters to arrive. 

Haunted House!

The Cat Castle is haunted! Oh no!

Cat Castle Adventures

It seems The Cat Castle also has transportative properties...

Stormin' the Kibble Kastle

Since the Cat Castle renovations were proven to be inadequate, it was time to start anew with a fresh castle--The Kibble Kastle.

Louie comes to check it out. Strombeek insists that I've done it this time--there's no way she can possibly fit.

Cat Castle Renovations

The vet said Louie could have kibble as long as I kept it away from Strombeek. I thought some simple renovations to The Cat Castle would make this possible. So I cut off the left side of the drawbridge and reattached it to the wall with a twist tie. Now I could put the kibble inside where Louie could get it while keeping the big girl out.

But with Strombeek, nothing is ever so simple.
