It’s almost that time!  Where has this year gone?!  While we’re doing a minimal Christmas this year, we have been wanting to gift the cats with a cat tower for a while now.  Confession: We have 5 cats.  2 are over 20lbs each.

We’ve been shopping around for a while and even attempted to make our own.  That was a failure, so back to shopping we went.  There are so many out there.  Different shapes, sizes, colors, some with toys, some that look like actual trees, most that wouldn’t even hold a 10lb cat.  Then it happened.

About 3 weeks ago, I was running errands and saw a yard sale on the side of the road.  I have never once stopped to one by myself, but I saw the most awesome desks sitting out front.  Old, antique, feminine – everything I’ve been looking for.  I turned around and went back and when I found out the lady was asking $10 each for them, I snatched up both and brought them home.  They became my crafting desks and storage, so the older storage cubes I was using were temporarily moved into the office.  This is now their new home, as they have become a favorite to the cats.  They have 12 cubes to play/lay/sleep/nap/roll around in, as well as the top to climb on.  We can rearrange them and the heavier cats don’t mind laying on the bottom ones, so safety isn’t a concern there.  Talk about recycling!

That’s one thing checked off the Christmas list this year!  And a post wouldn’t be complete without a few photos.
