I even had a favourite (and I don't mind saying it), but both were loved and treated well.

She is a weird cat- won't get into boxes or bags, gets angry at catnip, won't scratch cardboard or a post, won't chase a laser pointer, won't sit on a lap, is about an inch off trying to smell/find treats LOL... Hopefully she'll learn to "cat" eventually.LoMoreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03074538328394299829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-19459217516407064162016-08-21T15:06:09.420-04:002016-08-21T15:06:09.420-04:00My Maine Coon kitty has several boxes strewn about...My Maine Coon kitty has several boxes strewn about the house.

I made a fold-away TV shelf (it was over the bed when extended) using 2" steel pipe and fittings. It all thteads together easily and can be twisted to get the exact angle you want, & there are flanges to bolt the ends to the desk & shelf. Easy peasy. You could paint it to look brass... verrry steampunk!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-63278107304065006032016-08-20T18:42:45.293-04:002016-08-20T18:42:45.293-04:00IM IN LOVE IM IN LOVE AND I DONT CARE WHO KNOWS IT...IM IN LOVE IM IN LOVE AND I DONT CARE WHO KNOWS IT.

She used to walk around the fat cat showing off how skinny and pretty she was and making sure the fat cat knew that she could slink all over the place even under my daughters bedroom door. Then one day we got new neighbors who own a cat hating dog! So bitchy cat does not go out side anymore and she has gained weight and she still tries to show off her slinky skinniness but alas she is unable to! LOL payback! I do wish my 2 cats got along like yours. Both are pretty!freebird7100https://www.blogger.com/profile/16575787149746268752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-59401825097100930902016-08-19T16:26:40.342-04:002016-08-19T16:26:40.342-04:00We also have larger cats who want to fit in the bo...We also have larger cats who want to fit in the box of their smaller siblings. What I love watching, and Tonks did the same thing, is the way they turn around.

Is it possible, the next time I shop at amazon to feed your cats, you only feed Tonks with my donation? No? Just kidding...I know you love them both. We've had some pretty strange cats in our family...we had one with 6 toes on each foot that sucked its thumb.

Lily is mostly Jen's, so it's not surprising that Lily is Jen's favorite. Jen really plays up Lily's superiority because it's funny and probably because it makes John roll his eyes. (John should write a guest post about Tonks's superiority!!)<br /><br />I think the solution is giving the sisters bunk boxes on Jen's desk. Stack those cats, and keep your valuable desk real estate! Although, if Tonks always has to be able to see Lily, then I guess that might not work out.<br /><br />I'm on Team Tonks, too. Lily is beautiful, no doubt, but she's just too damn sweet and delicate and cuddly and floppy. Tonks actually has bones. And that nose! ARGH! I LOVE that nose. <br /><br />And, Jen, from a person who hates tags and has issues, please cut the tag out of Lily's new box or just tell me you did so I can stop twitching over here.<br /><br />Love you all equally,<br />KWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-62362123880064078762016-08-19T11:13:28.568-04:002016-08-19T11:13:28.568-04:00Tonks has good taste to want to copy Lily and use ...Tonks has good taste to want to copy Lily and use her box. And yes, the new box does make Lily's blue eyes even bluer. But any chance of getting Tonks her own box? Of make them double decker boxes? My 2 Maine Coons only get snotty at each other when one is on the wrong lap. This is the only thin they will not share - my lap is Sprite's alone and my sister's lap is Reilly's universe. Otherwise we insist on loving both felines the same.
