Apparently the kids had destroyed the final level their cat tree when I was away. It was a good tree. Lasted 3 years. Now we needed another.

We found this one on sale for $69 (originally $99). FiveCatsDad said it was more stable than the rest although rather low. He reckoned they'd break the top few levels anyway.

The kids went berserk over it. First Buffy and Tux swatted the attached fake mouse like crazy and when I brought it to the kitchen for Sam and Kaku, Kaku grabbed it, groomed it, and grabbed it some more. By the time I brought the cam to take some shots, she'd moved to rubbing her face against the corners and sniffing the insides. Sam took a few sniffs too.

By morning, the mouse was lying quite far from the tree...

On a separate note, it is lovely to see Boy, Buffy, and Tux sharing space now. Boy and Buffy are actually sleeping on the same couch head in the living room, although in the far corners.

Meanwhile, Jack slept at 1130pm, woke at 3.30am, 7am, and 10am a happy smiling baby. Even his Aunt Leng whom we had a lovely lunch with today commented how contented he is. :)
