Duplex Tent

Posted on August 16, 2012 by onespoiledcat

Hey Hey! I think I’ve invented something NEW in the world of kitty cat hidey-spots. You all know I have an afghan tent in my Mom’s studio – one end of the studio couch is MINE ALL MINE and when Mom’s in her studio, I’m in my tent!

The “usual” spot for my tent……

Well yesterday I was playing with the pillows at the opposite side of the couch – burying my head behind them and trying to dig a hole to explore (!) and Mom had this brilliant idea. Actually it wasn’t HER idea – I was trying to get the message across that I’d like a change of scenery on the couch. A guy gets tired of the same view from his tent – know what I mean?

The end of the couch on the right is the “usual” spot for my tent and the pillows on the left is where I was poking around today when Mom got the idea to try ANOTHER tent on THAT end!

I thought maybe a little area on the other side of the couch just for me might be fun. So Mom made me a second tent – on the other end of the couch. I’m not hogging up the entire top of the couch. I switch from one side to the other dependingon what view I want! One side I can see Mom at the computer/drawing desk and the other I can see out the door to the hallway!! Cool huh?

The green/white afghan is the usual tent and the blue one is my new duplex addition!

So I think Mom and I invented the first “Kitty Duplex”……you’ve heard of Kitty Condos and Kitty Towers and Kitty Apartments and all that but how about a duplex with two private apartments opposite each other??

I think I most definitely qualify as ONE SPOILED CAT don’t you?

Kitty Hugs and Happy Thursday! 😀

Sammy, Duplex Man

Wow, Sammy! You ARE a spoiled – and lucky – kitty! Your mom looks out for you, there’s no doubt. Do you have a patent pending on that kitty duplex?? (Perhaps I could visit and share the other side…..wink, wink!)!
Love, Sundae

  Oh Sundae! If you want to teleport over here and occupy the other half of the duplex that would be quite nice. Mom says she’s not sure she really wants to give up her entire couch to a “tent city” but we’ll see how long I can talk her into letting me keep the duplex.
  
  Happy Window Watching!
  Love, Sammy

  It does, doesn’t it Clowie…..it’s quite comfy too – and being able to move from one tent to another without hardly even having to totally wake up (!) is quite nice too!! Tee Hee

  Gee thanks! The funny thing (well Mom thinks it’s funny anyway) is that I keep forgetting how to get INTO the tents now that there’s one at each end. There’s a space between them in front but I try to walk over the top to get there – obviously the tent caves in the minute I step on the “roof”…..I may be spoiled but sometimes I’m not too BRIGHT. 😀 😀

Sammy: you are not one spoiled cat: you are a kitty whose human does a good job taking care of you, which is a human’s job 😉
Well, okay, just a little spoiled but you so deserve it!

  Hi Texas! You’re totally right – I’m super lucky to have humans who indulge my every whim but you’re ALSO right that we kitties deserve it. After all, WE take care of our humans too right? Keeping them entertained and on their toes every day is a BIG job! 😀

Sammy, your momma has just given our momma a new idea! We have a new member of the household, Lucy, who is a Jack Basset (Jack Russell-Basset Hound) and she is always digging underneath the pillow on the couch. Now our momma said she is going to set up a tent for her. We’ll report back and let you know if she likes it. Thanks for the idea!

  Hi Terrell Pups! Know what? That just might be exactly what little Lucy is trying to do – make a burrow to lie in so a couch tent would be FABULOUS for her! Good luck with that!!!!

  Hi Nellie! Yep – poor Mommy has nowhere to sit except in her drawing table/computer chair now. I’ve got the couch “all tied up” with my duplex!! Now if you want to teleport here to “get away from it all” there, I’ll happily let you choose which side of the duplex you wanna stay in! Tee Hee

Oh wait…I don’t want to live somewhere that’s hotter than Virginia….well….maybe I’ll just keep both sides to myself. Forget the flip. 😀 😀
