When you're a hammer, the whole world's a nail, and when you're a kitten, well...
We only thought our place had a Peewee's Playhouse vibe before. When we got a new floor several weeks ago, we decided to leave most of our stuff packed up in anticipation of our Spring Break painting project. The empty bookshelves and temporary foam mats on the floor were so inviting to our 2 kittens that they happily chased each other through the open spaces, leaping on the furniture and littering the entire area with all sorts of toys. the bookcases were like a little jungle gym for the kittens, too, and they scrambled from shelf to chair to couch to next shelf up.
I must have assumed that the painting would put an end to all that, but I was wrong. Not only have they been using the drop cloths like giant slip-n-slides, but having the furniture draped in plastic and pushed to the center of the room is like creating the most awesome indoor fort in the world. They scale the furniture both from above and beneath the plastic, and they also hide at its edges, waiting for some unsuspecting painter to pass by so they can attack her feet.
As for the paint itself, they gave it a sniff and then left it alone. Maybe they'll decide to dabble in the arts tomorrow.

It's so nice of you all to provide them with such a fun playground-like environment!
ReplyDeleteHere's an idea: Get a new puppy to see what kind of fun the two of them might cook up!
