How Strombeek Helps Us Pack

First she settles into a box all filled with packing paper and makes herself comfortable. 

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.

Someone Call Hoaders!

The cats are stockpiling the cardboard boxes and packing paper. It's totally out of control.

Nesting #2

 More nesting!

Nesting

What did Strombeek and Louie do today?


As usual, they nested in the enrichment box filled with packing paper. This is pretty much their favorite way to spend the day.

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!

Litter Box Update

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

Smack Down

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

Packing Paper Canoes

If the Photoshopped extravaganza in the last entry didn't make total sense, the packing paper is like a canoe on the hardwood floor. Usually the cats each hang out on their own raft, but Louie has hitched a ride on the back of Strombeek's.

Cat Castle Adventures

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

Better than a Paper Bag!

Packing paper!
