TOWER OF CATS

Some years ago before there were affordable digital cameras
I pursued other hobbies to keep me out of trouble. What you
are looking at here is a tower I built as a refuge for my cats to escape
from the dogs. At the very top is a bed with a pillow which they seem to
love. Two platforms below that you can see a plate -- this is where they get fed.
Two platforms below that is the recessed water bowl.

When I walked into the room today I saw them sitting one to a platform
like this and ran to get the camera.

And just in case anyone is interested...

the bottom cat is "Impulse" an almost 16 y/o abyssinian who
has been dying in pieces over the last 3 years.

Above him is "Harry" a 9 y/o tabby who is about as smart and as
mischievous as they come.

Above him is the new kitten, "Taboo" Taboo was brought
into the household specifically to entertain Harry who was getting
bored with all the senior citizens who weren't playing with him.

And on top is my queen bitch, "Jezebel" a 15 year old tabby
who really isn't quite as bitchy as she'd like you to believe.

I am amazed that you caught this. What a wonderful scene, and what a nice quartet of furry guys to love and play with.

Oh my goodness, Liza. This is one for the record books. Funny, adorable, and impossible, but I see it, so I have to believe it! Fantastic felines!

I love the curvy connection Taboo creates between Harry and Jezebel . . and the total sophisticated in difference Impulse has for the whole thing

Can you imagine what it would be like if we put my 3 together with yours? and then added the dogs. Oy.

Such a fun capture - glad you got it. I don't know too much about cats except that the Abyssinian's are the best!
