One side sisal, tassles for extra fun and kitty drugs in the form of catnip. This is the mat that saved my already teetering on the edge mind - made by Fat Cat, Inc. it’s the ‘Big Mama’s Scratch-O-Rama’.

After breakfast/lunch/dinner/snack… let’s have a sniff and a scratch… and why not a good roll? While taunting the weiner dog, pretend to hide behind the mat; she’ll never see me! Bwaaahaaaahaaa!

…and a view of it opened up.

You wouldn’t think a discerning kitty would look twice at something like this… but she loves it, and has given up shredding my furniture. For now.

Now… Pictures of the girl herself…

Cute, isn’t she? It’s been some time since I lived with a cat, and it’s just different enough to be interesting. One big difference is she moves quite a lot. Taking pictures of Pixel [as I call her] are mini adventures, because unlike the dogs she refuses to stand still for any nonsense.

And don’t think it hasn’t escaped my attention that every single time I wanted a kitty it was vetoed, but youngest daughter can bring one into the house with no problem. Oh, I frigging noticed, alright.
Just wait.
