Well, presumably there are doors and stairwells.

 

The owner has a heart - he bought them heating mats so that they could snooze in another room.

Too small, unfortunately.

 

They seem more afraid of it than excited. I guess that's my donation for the SPCA Christmas rummage sale this year.

On the plus side, it gets dust bunnies out of tight crevices better than the vacuum cleaner does.

My new family crest.

Update: the toy arrived today. One cat is fascinated by it but won't get down off her chair to get close to it, the other seems afraid of it.

On the plus side, it's good for getting into tight spaces that the vacuum cleaner won't reach to pull out dust bunnies. Just have to teach it to stop saying "EXTERMINAAAATE" in cat language.

I've been growing indoor plants for decades. It's just cat grass that doesn't seem to work for me. Heck, I even got one of those grocery store orchids to bloom again every winter.

I tried that last winter. It made no difference. I can grow indoor plants, just not grass for some reason. If I could persuade them to nibble on phalenopsis orchids, I wouldn't need the grass.

It doesn't live long enough for that.

It gets plenty of water, but more light isn't an option.

 

Every winter it's the same. Plant the wheat/oats/ barley or whatever, express amazement at how fast it grows, then plant some all over a week or two later because it dies so fast.

I would settle for slower growth and longer life. Is there some secret to keeping this longer? I only have a west facing window to put it in. The east facing windows are shaded by a big tree.

Mine likes to wrap himself around my head, stick his back feet in my face, and nip my ears and nose with his sharp little teeth. All while purring loudly. He's a multi-tasker.

What if it demands to be picked up and perch on my shoulders?

Our two don't seem to go much for laser pointers, for whatever reason.

 

Looking for something to keep them busy in the cold months.

Here's me thinking it's because they can change their molecular density at will, which is why a 12 pound cat sounds like a 600 pound Shetland pony when it's galloping through the house at night.
