Tale of Two Kitties, Part 2

One of the biggest decisions we had to make when we adopted Iris and Mickey was "Where will the litter box go?".   Now we're talking about a 38' motorhome that is about 10' wide with the slides out.  Not a lot of space and living in it full-time, every bit of space is spoken for.  Keeping it in the shower was an option, but then we would have to move it each time we needed a shower.  Plus we'd need to leave the door open and that would be a nuisance as it would block the entrance to the bathroom.  Also, when we are traveling, the shower is where my plants ride.  Hmmm.  Leave it to Glenn to come up with a solution!  We have 4 drawers under a pantry-type cupboard in the dining/kitchen area.  He suggested we remove the bottom drawer and put the litter box in the "hole" left by the drawer.  Perfect!  The litter box just fits and the space is tall enough for the cats.  Problem solved!

The cats are really enjoying the "kitty balcony" we made for them.  Here's Iris checking things out.  The cage now sports a cover that has vinyl on top and screening all around so we can leave the kitchen window open for them to come and go with out the mosquitoes doing the same!  Of course, I had to torment my fur babies by putting a bird feeder within their line of site!  Got to keep them entertained!

Speaking of entertainment, Mickey actually plays fetch!  He has a favorite toy that I can throw down the aisle way and he will run after it and ususally bring it back for me to throw again.  Of course, sometimes it's me doing the fetching since he will leave it just far enough away that I have to get up off the couch to reach it.

Look how big they are getting!  Iris is still a lot smaller than Mickey, he's up to 6 pounds now.

One more little story, then I'll give you a break from hearing about the cats.  One night after we had gone to bed and were sleeping, a loud racket woke us up.  We had no idea what was going on!  Turns out, Mr. Curious Mickey was snooping in a WalMart bag, walked through the handle and got tangled up in it.  Now we're talking the white plastic bag.  When he moved, it made noise.  That scared him so he took off running.  Now the noise it louder and following him!  He ended up squeezed in between the bed and the nightstand.  Of course, when we tried to untangle him, the bag made more noise and off he ran!  We eventually got it off and everyone settled back down.  Sad part is, he's done it again!
