We're a bunch of majestic animals, sharing our adventures and wisdom! We were all living in the wild outdoors until humans scooped us up and showed us the warmth and safety of indoor habitation. What makes it exciting moment to moment is our mindset: "Zero fluffs given!"

Repurposed Gift Bag = Kitty Hideaway

So, we did a thing. We took a large, reusable gift bag and turned it into a kitty cove. All we had to do was add tubing so that the bag remains wide open for the cats to crawl in to or out of. This task was easy because a path already existed to hold the ribbon ties. We already had vinyl tubing, so we just used that. This project did not cost one penny, and the cats love it!
