Last month I told you about Scout’s new Christmas toy that had turned into a glorified side table in my living room.
Well, he has decided that he likes it.
He practically lives on the darn thing now. His favorite activities include curling up for naps, perching on the second tier to knock over my drink and anything else I dare to leave there, and stretching out in odd positions like this one.
It’s evidently a fabulous way to watch the world go by.
Scout got a new toy for Christmas. Unfortunately, he hasn’t shown a great deal of interest in this monstrosity.
It’s a four foot tall kitty tree complete with lots of things to scratch and to laze on.
He was quite engaged as I was putting it together. Here he is before he understood that it was his.
Once he realized that I actually wanted him to play with it, well, let’s just say that he has other interests.
I have tried it in different rooms and windows, placed toys on it and tried to entice him to play.
I’ve even played it cool, trying not to show too much interest. After all, any self respecting cat knows you shouldn’t do what humans demand.
When I put him on it, he uses the thing as a tool for climbing higher and reaching things he shouldn’t have.
I’ve taken to using it as a side table as it is next to my favorite chair at the moment.
At least it’s good for something!
