It was an instant hit. No surprise there! It's made of cardboard and Wylla and Charlene are cats. While I was trying to assemble it, they were all over it and trying to rub their faces against each piece.
Once assembled, Wylla hopped right in and did a little scratching on the corrugated base. She did some sniffing and chewing, and has already left many "kitty staple" marks on the edges. Bean checked it out too, but it's not quite tall enough for her to stretch out and scratch in it. It's much better for small and medium-sized cats.
nice....we see a trip to Target in mom's future :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this entire post, but perhaps this the most: "It was an instant hit. No surprise there! It's made of cardboard and Wylla and Charlene are cats."
ReplyDeleteHa! SO true!
That was my favorite part, too! Cats are so predictable in some ways...
DeleteI now have to visit our local Target and see if they carry these. Christmas may come early to our cats, too.
OMG. Target, here I come.
DeleteAlso, "kitty staple" = LOL!
/runs to Target LOL
ReplyDeleteI will have to check this out, as my little one loves getting into and under things. A few years ago Target made a round, bullseye cat scratcher and it is the only scratcher any of my cats ever went near, so I have high hopes for this!
ReplyDeleteThis house is so cute, but I bet Laurie already has some ideas about decorating it even more for the holidays! (Or I hope you do - you added so much personality to just plain boxes before that this just makes me want to see more of your craftiness!) :)
ReplyDeleteOh, my gosh! That last picture of Wylla. I'm dedded from the cute!
ReplyDeleteThe best picture ever (well, except for other great ones).
DeleteThat is so cute! love the snow-covered roof.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about cardboard that cats love so much. One of my guys, Tiger, has a couple cardboard box forts that he just loves to hide in and scratch.
This post reminded me of a video link that was on The Animal Rescue Site yesterday of a (homemade?) kitten cardboard playhouse. It made me think of the Von Tussles and imagined how cute it would've been to see them playing in a similar playhouse. Here's the line: http://blog.theanimalrescuesite.com/kitten-playhouse

Awwww. Cute overload. Any plans to DIY one for Charlene?
ReplyDeleteThanks for a sweet start to saturday.

And the Tiny House movement comes to cats!
ReplyDelete"Kitty staples" is now officially in my lexicon. Wee Wylla now has a winter home! :D
ReplyDeleteA tiny house for a tiny kitteh cat to enjoy..Miss Wylla Stout sure looks comfy in her tiny house, as far as Bean is concerned she seems unimpressed by the house, she is afterall the Queen Miss Charlene Butterbean..Enjoy your itty bitty kitty cats soon you will be working on getting some more itty bitty kitties ready for this big ole world, happy holidays early!
ReplyDeleteO M Goodness, I love this so much.....hope I can find a few for my girls and boy......just too cute.....gloria in South Carolina
ReplyDeleteI'll look for these next time I go to Target. Will there be one for the kitten room? I can picture three or four of them cuddled in there taking a nap.
ReplyDeleteI confess I made a special run to Target to pick up one of these houses for the cats' (and my own) amusement!
ReplyDeleteCharlene should fit if you take off the front :D Last year's model was still stable even without the front piece.
ReplyDeleteI went to Target and bought a bunch of these to give as gifts to all the small to medium kitties in my life. Also bunnies since they like to chew!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the product alert, Laurie!!! We are the proud owners of 2 little houses now, thanks to you. My little orange boy, Jonah, has somehow figured out that when he's inside, he can prop up a front paw in a back window and use that arm as a pillow. Ridiculously cute to see an ear and a paw sticking out of one of those windows, let me tell you.
ReplyDeleteAlso, at random times, I'll walk by, and I'll note that one of the cats will be lying down inside one of the houses (we put them in different locations). The cat in question won't be doing anything special - He or she will just be relaxing, enjoying watching the world go by.
Huge, huge win.
Okay- the last picture is too cute. I wrote that before I looked at the other comments and I see that I am not alone. But wow- too cute.
ReplyDeleteMiss Wylla and Miss Charlene, you each look very sweet enjoying your kitty-house! And that last picture of Wylla, I too am dedded from the cute! XO XO
ReplyDeleteI love when you discover a new product for your girls; it’s so fun to see them exploring it and making it their own.
ReplyDeleteSince I order so many items online, I just save the boxes for our three cats, occasionally cutting windows in them to add interest.
Have to admit... Went out and bought one as well!! It's too cute!!
