Irma Brought us Furniture

As most of you know, we are Florida cats, and that means we are impacted by Hurricane Irma. We are in the middle of the state, and we will be fine, but there has been a long period of preparing and waiting. We have enough food and water for both humans and cats for weeks.

Thank you for the emails and notes from some of our readers checking on us! At the time I’m writing this Sunday morning, the rain has started, but the wind hasn’t. Please don’t worry if I don’t have a post-hurricane update available immediately here on the blog, but know that we will all be fine. Meanwhile, we’re just waiting.

One of the features of waiting that the cats are really enjoying is finding the outdoor furniture in their sunroom.

Everyone except Ashton has taken a turn napping on this amazing, new object. Pierre was first.

Newton tried to take a nap on the glider, but he had an audience.

Cupcake found the combination of a new piece of furniture and Newton an irresistible combination. His nap there didn’t last long.

Cupcake took the night shift and seems to have slept there all night. She’ll be sad to see it go back outside after the storm passes.

In fact, by the time you read this, the storm will probably already be past. Good wishes to all of our other friends in the path of the storm. We hope it gave you fun furniture to play on, too.

Kitty Quandry

Pierre: Is it safe to come out?

Pierre: I better check to be sure the coast is clear.

Pierre: What’s with all the traffic all of a sudden?

Pierre: Whoa, did she see me?

Pierre: Maybe I can go now.

Cuddling up with the KRUUSE Buster Cocoon Bed

Our friends at KRUUSE sent us a small Buster Cocoon bed, and when I saw it, my first thought was that it was perfectly kitten-sized. And it turns out I have a kitten in the perfect color to match it the black sample bed.

I set the Buster bed down on the sofa, and Cupcake climbed right into it.

The bed is remarkably plush, with a removable cushion. We have never had cat bed in the house that had a removable cushion, so we didn’t expect to find cat toys under there. I haven’t decided whether Cupcake is just a hoarder, or whether that spot is intended as bonus toy storage.

Unlike any other beds I have seen, the Buster bed is made of a rip-stop polyester material that is really easy to clean. Cat hair doesn’t stick to it, and it’s designed to be water repellent, too.

You can machine wash the whole bed in warm water, if necessary, but the polyester cover is so easy to clean that it has kept me from needing to do that so far.

The Buster cocoon bed is a rounded shape that is perfect for a kitty to curl against the thickly cushioned side. That’s how Cupcake loves to sleep in it.

We have the Buster bed on our sofa. Cupcake often goes to another room to nap, but with the Buster bed in place, she sleeps there instead, spending more time with the family while we’re watching television in the living room.

Cupcake: Really, James Bond again, Dad?

The Buster bed comes in three sizes, and the small size is 18 inches wide. When I first saw it, I thought it looked kind of small, but that was because the sides of the bed are so thick, the center part of the bed where the cat sleeps looks a little bit smaller than I expected.

When I first saw the bed, I thought for sure that only Cupcake would want to sleep in it. Pierre decided to prove me wrong.

Pierre is a lean 11 lb cat, but he fits into the small Buster bed with room to spare. If your cat likes to sleep curled up, the 18 inch small bed is a cozy getaway, even if your kitty isn’t a kitten any more. There are also 25 inch and 29 inch versions for larger cats who like to spread out.

Cupcake gives the Buster bed four paws up… except when she has one paw dangling out of the bed while she snoozes.
