On Top

Louie likes to be on top.















He's like, Strombeek, you stay down there where you belong.

 But then Arthur comes along to mix things up.

Strombeek is like, yes, the top perch is finally mine!






But then she goes back down for some reason (???).

 Louie grabs hold of the top perch again...




And pulls himself back up. Strombeek doesn't like this.

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!

Smack Down

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