Three Reasons Why YOU Need a Kitten! (Free kitties!)

Disneyphile · 05-02-2007, 03:08 PM

Well, all the kitties found homes, and we pick them up tonight!

Emmy, the one in the first photo, is ours.

And, here's what I did today in preparation for her homecoming:

To help with the "barrier" method of giving Emmy her own space and keeping the other cats out, we decided upon a cardboard box, with an opening large enough for her, but too small for our big babies, until everyone is comfortable in a few days or so. (Our bathrooms are way too small to lock her away, and I'd like to keep an eye on her.)

Of course, I can't let anything be that simple, so here are the results of that idea -

Note the curtains in the front "windows".

This is the backside access port so we can scoop her box, etc. I made the roof slanted to keep our big cats from sitting on top and causing a "cave in", and added tabs to keep it locked down, but easily accessible.

And, this is the interior, with flooring that matches the curtains.

You know I love, right?
But sometimes, you scare me you're so creative.

Enjoy your new kitty, and take lots of pictures!!!

Aww! Thank you so much for posting those pictures, Disneyphile! You did a fantastic job! I love it!

You love animals as much as I do! Except I had a 65 pound black lab that insisted on sleeping in bed with me, only not at the foot of the bed. She had to spoon with me while her little puppy head was nestled in the pillow.
