Kitten playground

Sorry there was no weekly good stuff on Friday, I completely forgot :/ My bad. This was going to be included, but I’ll give it a separate post instead. First, here’s a photo of Pumpkin enjoying a box of screwed up newspaper.


And here is Bramble, looking rather concerned by the whole pumpkin-falling-asleep-in-a-box scandal.

We official became ‘cat people’ last Thursday, too. The kittens were getting way too big for their original scratching post, knocking it down constantly. They’ve also developed a love of climbing curtains (the breed that they’re half of are notorious tree climbers), so we decided it was time to get them a cat tree. Jesus, it’s so much bigger than we thought! It’s as tall as me! they love it, though, and have taken to sleeping on the ledges too.

And for some sad news, you might remember me saying that last weekend was super rubbish and shitty. Last sunday evening we got a call from Adam’s mum saying that their cat, Brodie Rattmaus, had been knocked over by a car and was found by the roadside. She had already passed away when they found her. I’m still pretty shocked and upset by this, it was the middle of the day and she was a large cat, I can’t grasp how someone wouldn’t have seen her. She’d also gone quite far from their house, the ironic thing is that behind their house are acres of long grass fields, but she went the other side to the road. So sad. I’ll miss that kitten, she was lovely.
