We got the girls a present...
The other night when I was changing the litterbox I broke it! I went
to tap the box on the bathroom counter to knock the stuck litter loose because I didn't want to wash it out, and when it hit the counter the corner shattered! I patched it up with a load of packing tape, and yesterday we went to Walmart in search of a new one... Well, they were all out of jumbo litterboxes, so I got another under-the-bed-storage box instead... it's the same size as a litterbox, cheaper than a litterbox, works just as well as a litterbox, but it's not as strong (which is why the last one smashed...) While we were hunting for the box we found them a present - a Kitty playhouse for twenty bucks It's plastic tubing with nylon mesh hammocks and a nylon tunnel for them to climb in... Silver was wary of it, sniffed at it, and decided she was too old for such things. Scouty took one look at it and ran away to the opposite end of the house to hide from the Scary Monster... and Tessie adored it so much she started trying to climb on it before we'd even finished putting the thing together! :P It seems to be a hit! Tessie spent about three hours climbing all over it and playing with the pompom balls that are attached to it (I think she likes having a couple of balls that run away) and then she settled down on top of it to sleep... Silver still hasn't been near it and I don't think she's going to (but she might surprise us - she wouldn't deign to touch the cat tree for weeks but now she climbs it and perches on the second platform and even jumps off it onto John's chair, and plays pouncy-tail with Tessie.) Scouty's already surprised me - she doesn't want to have an audience but after we turned the lights out last night she was sitting in the bottom level of the tunnel batting at the pompom (she ran away when I went out there to take a photo) and she's been in it twice this morning already, playing chasey with Tessie She loves caves and she loves balls, and this this playhouse she gets to have both at once. While we were at Walmart I got a pair of new cake storers which I accidentally left behind in the store (grrr... I HATE the way the Walmart checkouts work - it's not the first time we've accidentally left a bag or two behind on their stupid carousel because it was only partly full or had clear/lightweight items in it, and if you don't realise before you leave the carpark it's too late to go back and get them ) And I bought six plastic jars for the kitchen cupboards - we had a weevil incident last weekend and even though I cleaned everything up and they were only in ONE packet, it was a wakeup call... even John can see the value of airtight storage containers now - if something comes into the house infested, the little blighters will only be able to infest ONE storage jar instead of attacking everything in the pantry. |

The checkout clerk *had* to realize a bag had been left behind. It still may not be too late if you have your receipt. Jill |

Jill Our clerks at our new SuperWalmart must have really been trained on this one. They put the bags into your cart and make sure you got everything. (And since the cashiers ID is on the receipt management does know where the items were left) I'd go back if it isn't too far. Jo |

I know we could have tried... but with the price of gas the way it is, and with John's car broken it probably would have cost more in time, money and trouble to go back and fetch them than it would to just let it go - they only cost two bucks each. If it had been something more expensive I would have insisted that we go back for it right away... last time I messed up I realised when I was loading the car so we hadn't left the store yet and I just went back in to collect the bag... but this time John wasn't feeling well (which was the whole reason we were rushing home and I forgot it etc.) The kitty playhouse is a roaring success with Tessica and Scouty btw... |

She's addicted to bags and climbs in every time she sees one lying around - that was a particularly big and sturdy one so John picked it up and stood it upright... she was rather surprised to find herself in mid-air, then standing upright instead of lying on her side :P the photo came out GORGEOUS. |
