Cosby’s New Treehouse

In trying to come up with some new (and hopefully interesting) topics for this week, I realized that our great kitty, Cosby, has gotten relatively little “press” here over the past few weeks. I don’t think that’s fair, and he’s been asking me to write something about him, so this one is for you, Cos.

This past weekend, Jen and I went over to IKEA in Frisco to browse and pick up a couple of things. Before I describe what it is we bought, I want to tell you that nothing else gives me tired-head faster than a trip to IKEA when it is busy. Folks shopping in there generally do not know what they want, so they mosey along with no concern for others or time in general. I suppose that’s what annoys me most about those folks - is their complete lack of concern for other people.

Well, I just wanted to say that, now let’s move on.

For the past several weeks, Cosby has been keeping Jen and I up almost all night every night as he tries to see out our bedroom windows, or maybe he just wanted us to be awake. Either way, he was really keeping us up at night, and Jen suggested that we raise the blinds up all the way, and replace our curtains with something a bit better, allowing us privacy but letting Cosby get in the windows so he could see out. So, we shopped for, and found some lovely and inexpensive curtains. I can report that thus far, this plan has worked wonderfully, and Jen and I have had two much-improved nights of sleep.

When going through the pet area in IKEA, we found what I can only describe as a treehouse for cats. We saw the item previously, but went armed with measurements to make sure it would fit. We found that it did, and that it was on sale, so we bought it. However, we failed to make sure it would fit in our car! With some “doing” it did fit, but only just.

After some assembly and such, I am happy to tell you that Cosby loves his new treehouse. He likes to observe from the top level, and sleep on the second level, where we have made a little bed for him. Here’s a video of him in it so you can see for yourself.
