Prisoner, I assumed that a cat has a clean bill of health. A healthy cat, one who has been checked by a vet and who is not losing weight, just may not be hungry. And one who eats cause mommy is pushing food on it may not be hungry but is eating to please mommy.

I wanted to post a story line of my 4-legged neice and nephew..... I took some camp-chairs to my sis's house for Christmas, so we'd all have something to sit on. Little did I know that these chairs make purrrfect kitty hammocks! First they each took a turn on the chair.... This is Mac....
And this is Cheese...
And then they decided to wrestle for it.....
And then they rather reluctantly decided to share....

LOL, Who! I went out and bought a kitty hammock for my little girl when I realized that she LOVED lying in my sweater dryer (you know, those mesh things with legs that you can lay out sweaters on?). She would lay on it with a WET sweater under her. So I did some research and bought them their own hammock. They love it!! I ended up buying it for Kassie's birthday present. Here's Kassie trying it out for the first time:
And here's Costa checking it out. Look at the jealous look on Kassie's face!!!
The hammock is positioned so it gets the afternoon sun. I know one or the other of them is hanging out in it when I'm at work. I bought this one from a specialized vendor in Florida (I wanted wood, not PVC). I could pick the fabric, so I selected neutrals. Isn't it funny how they love hammock-like things????

Our cat Smudge LOVES boxes! Big boxes, little boxes, any old kind. The minute there is one available, he makes a home in it!

Aww Costa ... that looks like an awesome present for your furbabies. They are so cute too! Can you email me the website where you got that? I'm interested in getting one or if you have the info where I can order I would appreciate it! My email is in my profile! Thanks!

Hey Strawberry! I'll have to check at home and see if I can find out where I bought mine. In the meantime, check out Fur 'n Feathered Friends for their beds. They look pretty similar to the one I got (although I think mine is more squarish than rectangular). Mine also is easily disassembled since it uses dowels to hold it together (and nope, they've never disassembled it themselves, although they have removed the end caps from the dowels!). When I had had Costa for a year, I bought him a cat tree. It's about 5' tall, with a box on the bottom (I thought it would be more stable, and it is). Both of them love to curl up in the bottom to snooze, or sleep on the top (it's right by my sliding glass window, so they can keep an eye on the birds outside). You don't think they are too spoiled, do ya? <grin>

DD took this around Thanksgiving, this is her cat's favorite place when it's not occupied by fruit. Needless to say, I have replaced the bowl for a basket and placed the bowl elsewhere for her personal use.

Okay, this is weird! I have an 18yo cat, Johnny. He has a bed w/ a heating pad that sits on the end of the couch. Ne pretty much sleeps all the time. Hey, he's ancient so that's okay. Back to the weird...he's just sleeping away and all of the sudden wakes up and hisses at nothing! Bad dream?!?

That's so funny Ruiner! That sort of reminds me of the time Sis and I were home alone, and our somewhat blind cat came backing out of the kitchen with her eyes wide open, her back arched, and her tail fur all fluffed up. She kept backing up until she backed up into Mom's footstool. It freaked her out so back she shot up into the air and did a backflip and then scrambled out of the room. Sis and I looked at each other and said, "I'm not about to go in there and see what freaked her out." Turns out it was a bug on the rug! Love that Kitty Hammock Costa! I should get one for Sis. Her SO won't let her keep the deck chairs up for the cats. Lost, that kitty bowl pic is priceless!

"Close Up" Lost, Love kitty in the bowl. Costa, I might have to get one of those hammocks, less fur on the furniture that way (darling babies)! RG, very cute Smudge in a box. Who, Mac and Cheese are too funny. Ruiner, must have been a bad dream!

It's really funny the places cat's decide to make their own. I really like the idea of a hammock though, problem is, I'm afraid my JRT would take it over. Lucy - what great pictures!! Love that close up. Great pics everyone!

Love all the cat pics...so sweet! Went to a cat show recently and bought whats turned out to be the best 5 bucks i ever spent on my cat. We got a toy called "Da bird". It's a flexible pole with a strong string on the end, and off the end of the string is what looks like a fishing lure with feathers. When you swing it around it flaps like a bird. My cat gets tons of fun and exercise and we have as much fun watching him jump and swoop and dive for the "bird". You can get it at most pet shops, as well as replacements for the feathers.

Jan, that's Costa's "mommy's away on a trip" toy. I've got one that my pet sitter uses when she comes to take care of, and play with, the kids. Costa KNOWS where the danged thing is stashed, though, cause I've sometimes come home from work and found stuff knocked all over as he's tried to reach up to the top of the microwave (wall mounted) to get to it.
