The Cat Tent

Before the cat castle, there was the cat tent. There still is the cat tent, we just forgot about it for a while.

The cat tent cost just over $5 at Ikea, but now you can only find it on ebay or Amazon for an inflated price. Does that make it a collector's item?

So, we pulled out the tent because it matched the pharaonic headdress I planned to photograph Strombeek wearing.

Louie is a Friskies Cat

Louie is pretty excited to finally be initiated into the Friskies club. No more stealth missions to Strombeek's dish. No more lying in wait to see if she'll leave anything.

Month of frogs? Any suggestions about which month this might be?

Anniversary

"Five years, Strombeek. That's longer than we've been alive!"



It's difficult for the cats to imagine, but that doesn't stop them from trying. . .

Miscommunication

I thought I was pretty good at interpreting what my cats are trying to say, but it seems that I can still be way off. For instance, when I first introduced the new corn kernel litter, I thought Strombeek was just shaking herself, something she probably always did but I never noticed. But in reality she was demonstrating her intense displeasure with the "World's Best" Cat Litter. She was like, NOOOOOOOooooooo. I hate this litter SO much! I need to get every trace of it OFF me!" 

More Fun and Games

Another fun game house guests enjoy is Taunt the Cat with People Food.

March of the Strombeek

Sometimes when people are visiting and things get slow, Strombeek is called upon to entertain.

She is not so excited about the cat pendant.

Nor does she appreciate the bunch of bananas competing for space on her chair while people dance around her and sing about how there aren't any bananas. Of course there are bananas. They're right there.

But worse than any of that is when she is conscripted to perform The Penguin Dance.
