I've been looking at the Kitty Cafe online shop. They've got some gorgeous stuff on there but a lot of it is eye-wateringly expensive!

Lovely massive cat tree for a smidge over £1K 🙈🙊😱

Absolutely fabulously chic beds for £a-few-hundred 🙈

And a 100% guarantee that Leroy would only be interested in the boxes.

Nice stuff alright but I'm imagining it after a few months of use, by then the sisal rope will be in shreds, shedding fibres onto the cream carpet. If you have a black cat, the cute cream bed will be a sludgey grey colour because of the entwined cat hairs that won't wash/brush out. The perspex will be scratched and the wood veneer chipped. It'll look as if you spent £20 in Aldi!

I'm almost certain that the cats in the tree are photoshopped or taxidermied.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 24/02/2021 09:57

I'd hope for a thousand quid you'd get the cats thrown in too taxidermied or not.

I doubt it. More likely it will be viewed with suspicion from afar for a few days, then avoided for a week or two before being completely ignored for the rest of eternity. So you may as well have spent £20 on it in Aldi 😁.

Tbf they have got some nice affordable stuff too. They do a hoodie with cat ears - I've been told if I do get one I'm not allowed to wear it if I'm with DH or DS. I bloody well would though!

YetAnotherSpartacus · 24/02/2021 10:08

Like one of these Grumpy?

Also - I didn't know you wanted more cats :)

I don't. Four and a half cats is definitely half a cat too many Grin.

Unless it’s a free Bengal. They’re for incurable cases of Stockholm syndrome only.

The trick is probably to buy a tree, build it and put unbreakable decorative accessories on it, tell the cat off every time it goes near it. It’s guaranteed the cat will climb to the top then.

You can buy sisal rope but it’s wrapping it around the post tight enough.

Barbebengal on Instagram has a huge thick rope that looks like its proper ships rope, it’s either replaced regularly or it’s very hardwearing.

Note at the end you see the owners headboard, she’s destroyed it.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 24/02/2021 12:21

Has Just posted recently?

Papergirl1968 · 24/02/2021 12:45

I’ve just done a search and yes, she’s posted a few times, including today, but not in the Litter Tray.
If you’re reading this Just, hope you’re doing ok. We miss you x

YetAnotherSpartacus · 24/02/2021 12:49

Oh Good!

I still think about Cozie :(

Supersimkin2 · 24/02/2021 13:09

Me too. I hope she's ok. I thought about her loads at Christmas.

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats

When times are tough eg another invasion, it may help to recall the human's motto for all matters feline:

NEVER MIND.

Capn counts as 1.5 cats, cos Dreamies.

I think I've got Covid from the bastard who mugged me last week.

swampytiggaa · 24/02/2021 13:14

New cat tree arrived a day early 🙂 cats enjoyed supervising me and the girls assembling it.

Don’t think I needed to worry about them not liking it... £30 job from eBay 🙂

Excuse me, what? You were mugged? 😱😢

Papergirl1968 · 24/02/2021 13:45

Oh no, Lana. Hope you’re ok? Flowers
The girls seem to approve, Swampy!

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 24/02/2021 13:46

@Supersimkin2
Mugged? Bloody hell - hope you're ok?

Fluffycloudland77 · 24/02/2021 13:48

You’ve got to move to a genteel area eventually @Supersimkin2.

Did you get hurt?.

Supersimkin2 · 24/02/2021 14:22

Am triumphant as it happens - albeit dripping with cold.

Last week at 8pm some pig nicked my phone out of my pocket while
was collecting my Zara sale bargain, and me and the newsagent chased him across the park till he caved in and gave it back. Felt like Chuck D and Flava, us.

Unfortunately he had used it, and I forgot to wipe it before I cradled it lovingly in my arms and rang several people up.

Supersimkin2 · 24/02/2021 14:24

It is with me now, my presssussssh. It must have been the mugger as I've had less contact with humans in the past week than Terry Waite in his prime.

TheLongRider · 24/02/2021 14:40

I'm very impressed with your mugger chasing abilities Super! I really hope it isn't COVID and if it is that it's over soon. I'm not sure of the Cap'n's nursing qualifications.

Fluffycloudland77 · 24/02/2021 14:44

You can get tests sent through the post. I hope you haven’t got covid.

Papergirl1968 · 24/02/2021 14:50

Well done for getting It back. Bastard!

YesItsMeIDontCare · 24/02/2021 15:31

Thank god you're OK Super! And kudos for getting your phone back.

I hope Cap'n gave extra cuddles.
