Post grad - Kitten University

susandennisI have this little shelf just outside the kitchen. It's mainly a charging station for my backup phone. There are two magnetic bulletin boards above it. Lately, it's been a convenient Safe From Kittens area.
Guess who got up there last night?
And, in other post grad news, The Smalls now easily joins his brother on the bathroom counter. So now we're back to following into the bathroom. They sit on the counter and after they have pushed everything onto the floor, they just watch me.
They are going to knock the cat tree with basket over. They run from the other end of the house and land on it in hopes of getting there first. It rocks from side to side and they don't care one bit. The additions to the tree will be coming with a larger base. I didn't think I would really need it but Jarek (the builder) strongly suggested. I'm sooooooo glad he did. The Etsy listing says those bits could be here as early as next week. I hope so.
Meanwhile there are only two places, now, that are still kitty safe - the mantle and the big cupboard. The cupboard is temporary. One of them is going to figure it out sooner or later. Plus there's a nice cat bed up there. Hopefully the mantle will remain a safe zone - otherwise, there's no future for plants in this house.
I have enjoyed my swims extra extra muchly this week. The gym population gets smaller every day. Today the usually full parking lot was about 3/4ths empty. One more day.
It occurred to me this morning that I'll bet the computer that now runs our new FOB system is not backed up anywhere, is running an old version of Windows and has not been ever checked for malware. A lovely thought.
I'd love to get more work done on my quilt but that's pretty much kitty dependent. Right now, Biggie's on the prowl looking for trouble. The Smalls is protecting the basket from all invaders. They will likely switch roles any minute.
It's another cloudy, cool morning - Maybe I'll go take a walk while I'm waiting for them to settle down.
