a Little Exploration

I don't know if Noodle explored the cat tree last night because she didn't sleep with us, but this morning after a healthy poop and pee (yeah!), she checked it out a bit more. She made it up the first ramp OK, though I couldn't help but hold her butt as she was going up. Maternal instincts, I guess. She hung out in the first condo for quite a bit while Bag was up above.

Bag spent about five long minutes up there, though I don't think he cares for the wobbliness. We'll have to see about that.

He did go out on the deck for a bit for fresh air. She seemed as if she was headed there, but he didn't stay long.

He is now watching her entertain herself with a bottle cap. She is active and he is alert - I hate that I have to leave soon and miss their antics. Whatever they do today, I hope they don't hurt themselves, especially Noodle on the cat tree.

Wow! Just as I closed out on this entry, she was entertaining herself and with momentum flowing, she ran right up the first ramp on her own with no problems! I didn't see how she got down, though (probably jumped) because now she is on the back platform. And she got there by climbing up on the water bottles. She looked at the second ramp and for a moment, I thought she was going to attempt it, but didn't. I am so proud of her!

She's still sitting on the back platform watching her brother play with his hanging mouse. She is headed to investigate.

The Cat Tree is Here!

Well, the BIGGEST cat toy we've ever bought - 74" cat tree - arrived today! It came at noon during my work call but Dave assembled it tonight. Interestingly, Bag didn't take too much interest in it. He usually supervises Dave with these types of projects. He didn't even play with the big ol box it came in. Perhaps he is full and sleepy from eating dinner.

Noodle hid under the couch while Dave was putting it together. Too much noise and movement for her, I guess. She is always skittish like that. But Dave got her out and helped her move around in it. She needs time on it but she took to it more than Bag has so far. Bag simply just jumps down after a few minutes. He is sleeping right now.

So far, she likes the little hanging cat toy. Once or twice she has made it up the first ramp but not from the ground, more like halfway up. We'll see what later tonight brings and tomorrow.
