pets and their pampered owners
containment during storms, etc...
Some of my cats are no longer allowed in the house. When they get bored with the backyard or need to come in occasionally for some reason, like spraying, storms, etc… I needed a way to contain them. My friends, John and Elease helped me design and build my cat cage. I couldn’t figure out how to do the corners. None of the building supply stores had what I needed for 90 degree angles. John suggested 45 degree angles and here it is! It took two days to build, but has been well worth it. John helped measure and cut the pieces and put together the frame; I wrapped it.
Tiger and Shadow have spent a lot of time in it. Tiger especially. They have plenty of room and all they need to pass the time; Food, litter, a place to sleep, some catnip on a scratch pad. This has freed me up tremendously from cleaning up after them and trying to keep tabs on them. I cut my cleaning by 90 percent. Seriously.
You should not take on the responsibility of a pet and then dump them on someone else. It happens all the time. It is wrong, but it happens. So I will be the responsible one and take care of them. Monthly treatments, vet bills, food, you do the math. Are there added rewards in the afterlife for doing the right thing by the pets? I sincerely hope so, but probably not. But honestly, they are smarter, more intuitive and more fun than most people I know. They have discovered secrets to living that many people have not yet discovered.
I have no qualms about caging them occasionally. They are safe, healthy, happy, and cared for. And now, I’m a lot more pampered myself!
