So far this is their absolute favorite baby toy.

My two fight over all the high spots, mainly because Ruby wonā€™t let Tasha have her alone time. Iā€™m thinking I need to build a cat tree with platforms of equal height spaced far apart.

The best spot is always where the other one is sleeping: itā€™s nice and warm!

Any other cat parents here seen website before?

They are lovely, but itā€™s one of those where you gotta ask the priceā€¦

Nice. Mrs. The Ratel found one covered in leaves. Also no listed price.

Noriā€™s just going to have to settle for the PetsMart special.

We do want to get a few more in the future, and have plans to build a bridge from this one to the top of our new bookshelves.

Feline pedantry: catwalk is the technical term.

I found the price by clicking on the the different ones that are listed, on right hand side?

But too rich for my bloodā€¦The first one is $429.00 (3-level).

Ah! You dug further than I did!

Sheesh! At that price, the cat is SURE to ignore it!

I keep thinking I should really make scratching posts. Righteous bucks!

Same problem (in my experience, at least). Spend time or money on a thing, cats will turn their nose up. Throw away a shoe box, itā€™s their new bed for the next 5 years. Of course, you could make it and enjoy doing so, making it worth it, even if the cat never sits on it.

One of my aunts sent my daughter a crinkly bag thingie for her cat - cat ignored it. But the aunt Linda Memorial box still gets regular use by kitty.

Yep. My cat gets excited over wadded up paper receipts and toilet paper tubes.

Cat trees are something special, though. They love the altitude and the scratchy bits. Iā€™d love to make my own, but Iā€™ve had to accept that I havenā€™t the time.

And making things myself has never saved me any money.

Baby northern water snake (Nerodia sipedon sipedon (L)) on the walk by the back porch. Probably a little under six inches long.

These guys are madly aggressive if they think they are threatened or their territory is being invaded. This one tried to bite me about a dozen times!

This is Norbert, for contrast. He is a pretty little checkered eastern garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis (L)) that mistakenly believes he is very tough and scary. Most garter snakes do not have an attitude, Norbert is ā€œspecialā€.

Isnā€™t he beautiful? Oh, bless him!

Edit: heā€™s 11 lbs at ~6 months ā€“ heā€™s gonna be a big boy (with a little head).
