OK this ottoman seems to be a favorite for some of the cats. I just watched a bit of some 'dog in the manger' thing.
I don't know who it is - Opry or Molly or someone with dark hair and at least one white paw - but the cat 'protects' the ottoman even when not under it.

It looked like Sam walked over to the ottoman, looked left and right, then stuck his head under it and prepared to lie down.
Quickly from the left, a dark blur entered the screen and gave Sam a tap as if to say Hey buddy what you think you're doing?
Sam came out and gave a left front paw smack but it did no good, so Sam ran away.
The other cat promptly went under the ottoman and waited a short time. When it looked safe that Sam would not return, the other cat emerged and left the screen.
I have seen my cats act like that on occasion; they can have a favorite spot and don't want anyone in it, even if they are not there at the moment.

There's now someone back under the stool who just came out because of the human entering.

OH no, the intruder just picked up Sam.
Great, now I have to keep watching to see if she brings Sam back.

OMG they scared Sam. He flew out of his harness leash. Poor baby.

The representative said they have had two competitions. The first was the climb-a-thon and the second was "Cat-Paw Art" where they painted the kitties' paws and had them walk across the canvas.

Ah OK, Sam was on an away mission to promote the house.

Poor Sam, I hope they bring him back to the house soon.

Was busy all weekend and was only able to check in with the fuzz-butts every once in a while. Thanks to everyone for the great caps and updates!

My first view this morning shows a lot of lounging kitties!

Cute little fuzz-butts!

Looks like the video it up on the Today Show website. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Mac users can watch.

Scroll down to Today Show Video to "• New reality TV show for cats only". You may have to install free downloads of Microsoft© Internet Explorer 6, Microsoft© Media Player 10, and Macromedia Flash 6, if you do not already have them.

It looked like Cisco was following the humans around for some attention. He spent a fair amount of time sitting on/by the lady.

I don't know if I like the food on the table; that's got to be an oversight when they sit it all up. What cat owner does not know that's a bad thing to let a cat do.

I have to say I have no idea what the bottom right camera shot is. I seldom see anything happening there, and just saw Jo sleeping against the pink thing in front of the window. And what are those strung balls? Toys?

Thanks for finding the video Julip!! Poor Sam; at least Ellis was there too. But wow! Sam should be renamed HOUDINI for getting out of that harness!! LOL

Thanks for the link, Julip! Wonder if Sam drew blood on that guy's leg. Looked like he had quite the grip on him for a minute there.

It sounds like I might have to fire up the Dell sometime soon so I can watch that video!

RL, including my own kitties, has made me neglect the internet kitties. lol. Here is a look around the house:

Romeo eating:


Bambi sleeping:


Cisco eating:


...then up in the loft:

Had to check on our feline friends:

Ellis in one of his favorite spots, in one of his favorite positions (dontcha just wanna rub that tummy?); Bambi in HER spot; Sam (I think) in HIS spot; Molly leaping off the stairs....



...and then working on the scratching post.



I'm kinda sad that they will be closing the house in four days. Seems kinda odd to have the "episodes" run for 10 weeks but have the house and webcams set up for only 10 days.

Feeding time! Opry doesn't look too sure of the offerings, though...



Ellis is more interested in batting a bit of fluff...

Nancy - I agree about being sad about the feeds only going on for 10 days - it would be great if they kept it up, after the show is over, with more shelter kitties as each one gets adopted!

I love the cap you got of Molly scratching the post and leaping off the stairs! My cats scoff at sisal - they prefer cardboard scratchers and carpet scratchers.

I agree about Ellis' belly.

Yeah, Julip - my cats are not into sisal either. And they pretty much ignore the expensive scratching/house tower I got them. But my sofa...now THERE'S something they love to sink their claws into. Well, my sofa is actually a futon, and just for that very reason. Now that I could and should actually get an actual sofa, there's no way I can with Chip and Marble and their amazing claws.

Nancy - One of my cats from years ago loved scratching on one old couch we had and ignored the carpet posts, so I know what you are going through! I've lucked out with my furbabies since, though - they can't get enough of the carpet and cardboard.

Have you ever tried the cardboard scratchers? They can be ugly to look at, but they actually have some nicer looking ones out there, in circles and other shapes, all refillable of course. And if you have a dedicated dustbuster nearby to clear up the shavings, it is very bearable to have around.
