Just in case you haven't bought a gift for your cat(s) yet: Create a Cat Haven from Ikea Shelves
The climbing trees at pet stores are ridiculously expensive and take up tons of floor space. Help your kitty jump to a royal view, Super-Mario-style, without cluttering your floor or wasting money.
ModernCat showcased a pretty nifty climbing wall designed by one of the blog's readers. The kitty roost is made from a combination of Ikea products: shelving brackets, small shelves, and wool carpet swaths. With some smart shopping, though, you could buy similar materials just about anywhere. By using the wall itself as the primary support for the cat's climbing space, you avoid the big footprint of a commercial climbing tree. Inexpensive construction aside, the best part about using the wall for support is you can create a roost as high as your ceilings allow. I know a certain cat at my house that would be thrilled to have a 15 foot tall perch in my office, well above children's poking fingers. For more pictures and links to the various parts, take a peek at the link below. If you have your own creative pet related project, we'd love to hear about it!
What is a groupon? I suppose I could google, but now I am interested in how buffistas describe it.
Congratulations, Glamcookie!

Sophia - it is reduced price offer to something that goes out to all who have signed up. A

for a group, a
Groupon.
I want to install a cat wall like that when we move, probably in the family room and my bedroom. I am hoping to keep the cats off my bed after the move.
Groupon is this website that has daily coupons for businesses in various locations. The "group" part is that the deal only kicks in if a certain number of people sign up for it (and sometimes the number is limited, too). They're usually great deals -- like 50% or more off. So when I ordered pizza last night, I had a $20 certificate, which I had paid $10 for. Good times! Too bad it turns out I'm not wild about broccoli rabe on a pizza, because I got a large...
Welcome Shane! Congrats to the little boy and his mommies!
I have to wrap presents and go to the grocery store today. That should be doable, at least in theory.
Kat, I have another bag of clothes for you! All cute stuff, mostly for Grace but Isaac has just gone through a growth spurt and so there are some hoodies and pants and such for Noah too. Plus it's the perfect excuse to try and see you at some point this season.
I am so glad we took Isaac to the doctor yesterday. Turns out he may have bronchitis, poor noodle.
