Busy Sunday

We began Sunday furry slowly, as usual. san did some chores and then she decided we needed a pick- me- up! I was quite excited...

We had some matatabi! WHEEE!!!

The like magic we fell asleep. Bujang slept in Ms Akira's cage as he did not like to be disturbed!

Toro had a nap on the couch next to grandma!He is such a mama's boy!

Here Megat tried furry hard not to fall asleep but he was not furry successful!

I had a good nap on Sunday. It was one of the best Sundays we have had for some time. I hope san gives us matatabi again soon!

Sunday Dance

Ms Akira had a private dance floor as befitting the lady of the house. She didn't have to share her sunday nip at all so she had quite a good time :)

The boys were another story. But they didn't seem to mind...

Megat had a whole bastant to himself...

Bujang had to be content with a very small dance floor...

because Totoro had the other basket. But the matatabi was worth it...

Wednesday whirl and Bastant baskets

The sad state of cardboard and scratchboard...

Toro and Megat giving the basket a try...

Hmmm...very comfy...

Just a little dust, easily solved...

This is good only for one...

Tanaka is planning to build a home in it...

Bujang investigating the new scratchboard and matatabi...

The scratchboard is the bane in grandma's psyche but a boon for the amigos. Bujang of course loves to tear the cardboard that comes for all the scratchboards. he loves to spit them into the air with great panache. The point is it does mess up the house...endlessly so.

Then I read in dawn's blog about an Ikea Hacker idea using bastant baskets to house the scratchboards. EUREKA! I had wanted to see if Ikea sells carpet squares that I can buy to stick to a cat tree that my colleague is making for me. But they had none and Giant had none. Then I remembered the IKEA hacker idea and so I bought one basket first. I know the amigos enough to know that they might not take to the idea, no matter how reasonable.

Tanaka took to the idea very quickly as did Toro and Megat. They all got into the basket and scratched away. They even sat in it for a bit. The only one who did not see the attarction was Bujang until I gave him some matatabi (courtesy of cat_aunty) incentive. He sniffed, sat and scratched. I think we had quite a success here. :)

I had to put the inserts in their cardboard housing though as the dust gets out of the basket and played havoc with the tiles. But after that, all is smooth sailing. But as usual we will have to see if this can be a long time solution for everyone.
