The main occupation of our kitties is napping.

When they are not napping they like to supervise me in my sewing room.

I recently placed the doll bed that my dad made for me on my sewing room desk.

It’s become a favorite napping spot even when I’m not working there.

I think they like the bright light that comes in throught the West facing window.

It’s a full time job napping and monitoring the all the activity in the house. And still I felt they needed something else to interact with. I call it kitty enrichment. Ha.

I had been looking for a good box to make a house for them and then it finally came when I ordered a couple things from IKEA. A good sized box inspired me to get back to cardboard architecture.

This project reminded me of how much fun I used to have making cardboard things for my girls. Like this dollhouse that I made back in 2014.

The box from IKEA was full of this perforated cardboard – it turned out to be the perfect roofing material. Avery and Steve absolutely love to scratch at it. They also love to jump up on the roof when they are feeling frisky and they play king of the mountain.

Claire pointed out that the photo below looks like we have one extra long cat.

It’s been so fun to see that they really love their house.

The only problem is Claire and I cannot decide on a name for it. Meow Manor? Purr Place? We have lots of ideas but none are sticking.
