Steps to Fun
Definition of Cat Radar; something that emerges when a package arrives in your home and the contents are for kitties pleasure. Before the box is even opened, cats suddenly merge out of the shadows. Their radars up they sense something just for them has arrived.
When the package from Spoil My Kitty.com arrived, I set it on the floor momentarily. Before I could even lift it to the table, five cats were present. Matuse climbed to the top of the box and was busy swiping at any feline who dared to challenge him. Oliver was performing his all-over sniff test, while Prowler, Tipster and Bently were circling the box, waiting for it to pounce on them.
I dislodged Matuse and pulled the contents out. There were thirteen pieces provided, not including the hardware. In less than ten minutes, following one sheet of simple illustrated instructions, the unit was assembled. The only tool needed, was provided by Spoil My Kitty.com, an Allen wrench. The cats carefully supervised me during the entire procedure.
My human logic said to brace these steps against a wall. The cats quickly showed me that this was not in line with �cat thinking� and therefore highly illogical. It wasn�t until I pulled the unit into the middle of the room that the fun began.
Moving with cat-like fluid motion, the cats were up and under the steps in minutes. Some wanted to use the spacious portion underneath the steps to test out their stretching ability on the scratching posts. Others quickly climbed the stairs, with one cat settling on each step. It got a bit crowded for my crew, with some cats being jostled out of position, but there are more cats then there were steps so this was expected. This entire set-up from Spoil My Kitty.com was an immediate hit.
The product when assembled stands 24� high by 16.5� wide. The steps are 7� deep, the unit is covered with faux fleece. Eight posts, supporting four stairs are securely anchored to a wide base. Once assembled, it is easy to move and fairly lightweight.
This piece of cat furniture has turned out to be an excellent hideaway for my cats. Several of them prefer lounging on the steps, while others play below.
Riley, my oldest male has decided the stairs make a wonderful place to play solo fetch. He drops his felt toy mouse on the top step and watches it tumble down. He then leaps to the bottom step and catches the toy in his jaws, races back to the top stair and repeats the game.
Thank you www.SpoilMyKitty.com for understanding that cats are comfortable being able to get on on different levels. That they love being secure and by offering them additional hidey holes and spaces to explore, you stimulate their innate curiosity.
It is clear to me that not only do you have cats in your own home, but you build your units to clearly spoil them.
