The Cat Castle

The other day I decided to get a new "cat tree" for our four furry friends. 

I ordered one and in a few days it was delivered. It then took two hours for hubby and I to put it together. I had read reviews that said it was hard to put together but wasn't expecting it to be this hard. Hubby was a mechanic and handyman before we retired and was good at anything he decided to take apart or put together or repair. His almost was his undoing. So much of it has to be done as if you are blindfolded. Long screws have to be put down, or up, through the different levels of the cat castle. Because of the way it was designed you have use three hands, or maybe four, and put the screws in places you can not see into. Oh, well, it kept us occupied on a cold day for a while. And while we were building this castle the four cats we were building far laid on the people furniture and napped. A few times they gave us an open eye as if to say "what are those dumb humans up to now." Finally it was done and our Siamese/calico cross Chantilly checked it out and decided the top bed was to her liking. 

Cassie our grey and white cat seemed to like one of the cubby holes. 

 

Chantilly's sister, Silky, wasn't about to leave her rocking chair to try out the new cat tree castle. Our forth cat, Twinkie, wouldn't go near it long enough to get her photo taken.
