Oh, I've tried just about everything. Nothing will deter Chip from his favorite area of the futon. Made quite a mess of it, he has. Marble just tends to accidentally get a claw stuck here and there in the fabric, mostly because when she gets excited her claws automatically come out, and she is easily excited. One kitty I had for years had a fixation with one leg of a nightstand I had. Not any of the other three legs, just the one. Made some incredible gouges in it, but I didn't care since she left everything else alone. And it was my brother's nightstand

Looks like it is time for the daily cat hair and stray litter erradication routine (the dustbuster and Fresh Step are by the table). And Opry, fearing the worst, heads for the safety of the sub-ottoman.

OK who are the strange people in the house now with cameras and stuff??? I think they are disruptive and should leave.

There is some strange guy who is trying to get Bambi to do something other than lie on the couch and sleep LOL. All he accomplished was to make Bambi move off the couch to get away from him. As soon as he went away, Bambi returned to the couch.

Looked like Ellis and Sam (who the host kept calling 'she') were on the Today Show. Ellis did NOT like the female interviewer and jumped off her lap early on and was taken away and Sam eventually started spitting and fishtailing and got out of his (her?) harness! And they were outside. Glad the SPCA person caught Sam and shame on them for putting them at risk..

Good for Bambi! Bambi says "Get offa my cloud!" lol Looks like auto spinny toy is back, but unfortunately it is just off camera. Here's Sam taking interest (note black ball spinning by), with I think Romeo underneath the ottoman, and Bambi on her sofa.

I think Bambi will adapt to her new home easily. Nothing seems to scare her!

So long as Bambi has a couch and is allowed to sleep as long as she likes with no disturbances, her new home will do just fine. I was kind of wondering how all this change and fuss will affect the cats once they go to their new homes. They will have gone from next to nothing in a shelter to a couple weeks of heavenly treatment and then to a normal type home. It's got to be disturbing because they look like they are settling in to their new surroundings; little do they know they will be moving again and losing all their playmates. It's kind of sad.

I suppose, but less sad than being in a cage at a rescue or shelter, sometimes for many months or even years.. if this speeds up getting homes for these non-baby cats, I love it!

We just had some action in the cathouse....mini-cat fight between Opry and Sam (i think). Opry actually came running in after Sam who appeared to be in shock, went into his submissive cat thing with ears back and then ran outa sight. One could almost hear the hissing! Jo watched every thing from above. Bambi, of course, slept through it all....or appeared to.

Aw - I missed a smackdown! Cisco was rustling up one of the Kitty Hoots mats earlier - must be some catnip in there.
Intruder has come in to play. Giving some love to Bambi:
Sam was resting on the upper ledge, but he immediately went downstairs to greet intruder when she started whipping around the fleece teaser:

Wideshot shows Bambi in her spot and Zen nearby on the left.
Romeo is still upstairs by the cutout window.

Ok - misidentification correction:
under ottoman - Molly next to ottoman - Opry in doorway in back - Ellis to the right of ottoman - Zen on sofa - Bambi upstairs far platform - Jo Cisco is stalking around, Romeo is still sleeping near cutout upstairs. Not sure where Sam is! Probably on the upstairs bed we can't see.

Who would have thought that ottoman would be liked so well by at least two MMH guestcats?! I bet a few people are buying one for their pets or making a version of the ottoman that fits their style and budget. Some people are pretty handy at building simple furniture & cat perches. (not me I would probably screw up and make the legs uneven or something.)

Hello all, new member here. I had popped into the webcams last night just in time to catch that smackdown between Sam and (I think) Opry. Some of these cats are hard to tell apart. At first I thought it was Ellis but then I realized he was too skinny to be Ellis. A minute ago I checked again and it looks like things are still pretty tense between these two - Sam was trying to come downstairs to eat and Opry was blocking him. Something is up between these two. NabbyCat is a big Ellis fan, since he reminds her of.. herself! She also prefers to sleep on her back. As a side note, it appears that cats are not actually being taken out of the house as they get voted off, right? Or are the camera feeds not live feeds? There should be fewer cats in the house by now.

Mama - Willsfan - I have been planning to check out the Homegoods ottoman aisle the next time I am there... . I still can't believe none of the cats have shredded the fringe! Welcome, Nabbycat! That is interesting that Sam and Opry are having issues! I guess the honeymoon phase is over and the claws are coming out, so to speak. I love Ellis too! He is just a big lug. The feeds do appear to be live feeds, but only one cat (Belle) has left so far. You are right, there should be more gone by now, so not sure if they are straying from their original plan or what. I'm glad we get to enjoy them a little longer, though!
