Oh yes! She's very territorial about the thing too. I didnt know she would be so touchy about it. But she shows me another side of her personality everyday. I bet if she had some sticky paper to keep me away from it I'd be stuck. Lol kitty payback if you will.Sounds great, high cat trees have to be one of the best bits about growing up as a young cat. Mouse loves being up high but has a habit of falling off so his cat tree isn't that high but it is right up next to a window that is on the first floor of an apartment block with a great view so I hope he doesn't feel he is missing out too much. I'd love to get one of those floor to ceiling ones some time, I think they look amazing. Kimbo is a lucky kitty.
Not to get off the subject but Tiki is an awesome name! Very Hawaiian hakuna matata-esk.So glad she loves it. Tiki spends a lot of time on the very top of his but also on the floor, chair, etc.
Can't believe she won't even let her toys on LoL! Guess who's boss in your house.
Hahahahaha! When I typed the message I envisioned the Velcro jumpsuit as well. Glad I'm not the only one with an active imagination.Can't believe she won't even let her toys on LoL! Guess who's boss in your house. :lol3: (Don't know why I'm laughing at that coz I'm sure not the boss in mine oops, sorry Mouse's house).
I have a lovely vision of you stuck to a wall in one of those velcro suits and Tiki racing around your home from cat tree to high shelf and back again like she's on top of the world, tail straight up!
It's amazing how a cats personality differs much like humans from person to person. My childhood cat answered by name. Walked me to the school bus every morning and was there when the bus dropped me off to walk home with me. On the other hand Kimbo hears her name and will look at you like you can go straight to Hades in a gasoline tutu before she will answer to you. Lol she was a very mean kitten when I first got her which is how she got her name. No affection. No picking her up. No petting. I respected that that's just who she is and left her alone. But this last week she has been the most affectionate she's ever been. She's been climbing in my lap and sleeping. She even stopped sleeping in her bed and climbs in the bed with me. She gets right under my neck or on my chest and passes out...... Come to think of it, she may be trying to choke or suffocate me! Lol
Actually she's up in the tree as we speak. She still won't let her toys be on there. I think she likes it because when I first got her she would jump up on my high counter. I put sticky paper on that counter to keep her from jumping on there so when I picked a tree I got one that sits even higher than than that. She can see straight into the kitchen and watch everything I'm doing from above. The highest point of every room belongs to her. Now instead of running through the house at night, I find her sitting at the top of that tower. Lol if she's happy I'm happy.
I think you have got her the purrfect addition to her home - the viewing platform from which she can make sure all is as she wishes and no intruders. I think @jcat is right in a way, I think she now feels safe and comfortable in this home of hers and now she can relax. Now she can start to come in for some cuddles.
I truly hope that is the case! This place is pretty big for how tiny she was when she first took over. It's like every week I opened up a whole new door to a whole new world. Some places were completely off limits to her at first being that it wasn't child-proofed/cat friendly. But since her arrival, and my nephew walking and now running I had to kitty/nephew proof the off limit areas. She's been everywhere but under and on top of the kitchen cabinets which of course will never be okay...... The first places I set up for her were the outta the way places you would think a cat would enjoy. But she loves to be right in any thick of the family commotion. So I've been working to make her space amongst my space as well. If she wants to be with the family she has the option. If she's on her anti-social setting I have remedied that as well. She's settling in fine now. When I first got her from the shelter she was sick so it was stressful on the both of us. But after a round of antibiotics she was good to go. I'm thankful that she's settling in. Hopefully she will be content for the rest of her life with me. Here's hopingI think you have got her the purrfect addition to her home - the viewing platform from which she can make sure all is as she wishes and no intruders. I think @jcat is right in a way, I think she now feels safe and comfortable in this home of hers and now she can relax. Now she can start to come in for some cuddles.
