Welcome to Our New Cat Photo Studio

WAFFLES:  Ok, Boss. I'm posing in the new picture room just like you told me to.

KATIE:  PHOTO STUDIO, Waffles. Photo studio. Not picture room. We're purr-fessionals professionals, you know.

WAFFLES:  Does the new dark floor make me look more handsome?

WAFFLES:  Well? Does it?

KATIE:  Waffles, I'm pretty sure that if anything is making you look handsome, it's my new lounger. ...MY new lounger.

WAFFLES:  Cool, where'd you get it?

KATIE:  I won it from the Hauspanther Cat Style Lounge at the BlogPaws conference. It's from a company called Vesper. 

KATIE:  Graceful and modern bent wood design, rich walnut veneer and a plush white faux fur pad. This has my name written all over it.

WAFFLES:  What about MY name? Doesn't it have my name on it too???

KATIE:  I'VE got your name, Waffles. 

KATIE:  I've got your name right here.

About Today's Photos
We were pretty excited to see how things looked on our new walnut floor. Katie thinks it's much more glamorous and provides a nice contrast to her classic black & white wardrobe. Waffles thinks it makes him more handsome. It's all about the ladies with Waffles.

The beautiful new lounger we're featuring is one of our recent fab finds. According to Glogirly, it was one of the coolest things in the Hauspanther Cat Style Lounge at the BlogPaws conference. And even MORE cool is that she won it in a drawing.

It's from Vesper, an innovative company focused on bringing together beautiful design, cat-friendly materials and meticulous workmanship. This isn't an 'official' product review, we just love their product and wanted to share it with you today.

You can see the full line of Vesper cat furniture HERE.

The same lounger we have is also available on Amazon.

Waffles Wednesday: I'm King of the World!

Um, hi everybuddy. Waffles here.

Over the holidays, Glogirly took the plunge. I'm not exactly sure what she meant by that on account of I've never seen her in a bathing suit and it's –20° outside.

I overheard her telling Gloman that if I had something to climb on really super high, that maybe I would forget how fun it is to jump up on the kitchen counter and the stove.

The first time she saw this system on Hauspanther, she knew she had to have it. It's something called an IKEA-hack. IKEA is that big blue and yellow store with furniture and stuff that's really hard to put together on account of the directions are in Swedish. An IKEA-hack is usually something clever a designer thinks up using their own products combined with some IKEA pieces.

"Where's Charlie Rascal, (the Swedish blogging cat) when I need him???"  Glogirly kept asking direction book.

Hollywood Franklin Cat Tower
The carpeted climbing shelves are from Franklin Cat Furniture in California. They designed them to work with the Stoleman suspension pole and brackets from IKEA.

What Glogirly loves SO much about it is how cool it looks in the Townhouse. It's modern and clean and matches our colors and style. What I love is how I can climb ... all the way up to the ceiling. It doesn't get any higher than that!


A Vest Mint?
Glogirly says it's a vest mint, I mean investment. It's like buying a piece of nice furniture. Franklin had a special sale during the holidays though which helped a lot.

This isn't an official product review or anything, we just wanted to show you how cool it is.


Assembly Required
It took a while for Glogirly to get it all assembled... the Franklin pieces were pretty easy to work with. The IKEA stuff, well...let's just say there were some HBO words involved. And then a handyman showed up a couple of days later.

But it all came together and now I have my very own stairway to the sky!


What Does The Boss Think?
The Boss isn't much for heights, so she's only been up about a third of the way when Gloman lured her with a treat.  But Glogirly says that's okay because my new stairway is supposed to make me leave the Boss alone and forget about how much fun it is to bother her.

Little does she know, I have a really good memory.

Here's what it looks like in our dining room. The room is open to the rest of the Townhouse so I can see EVERYTHING from up there. Even the neighbors. Can you find ME in this picture?

I can't touch the Boss from up here, but I can sure watch her!

Belly Up To The Cat Bar

Hi everyone, Katie here.

Last week our friends at Hauspanther (you know, the cool kitty site with all the hip and modern kitty gear) sent us an email about Drinkwell's brand new ceramic Pagoda Fountain. If I had a drink for every time I told Glogirly to get me a fountain...well, I'd have my own private Betty Ford suite.

But FINALLY, thanks to Hauspanther, she found just the right design.

Waffles Too immediately bellied up to the bar. It took him awhile to realize this was a DRINKING fountain, not a WADING fountain.  There were a few HBO words and a bunch of paper towels.

I approached with caution.  Had to watch my back for incoming fire. 

But guess what...We LOVE it!  No more tussles in the bathtub, fighting over the dribbling faucet. We can come and go as we please. And a certain *someone* can't sniff my tail and drink at the same time.  Glogirly says that if I drink more water I'll be healthier and it might even be easier for me to lose that last pound I'm working on.  

Still, I can think of about 7-8 pounds I'd like to shed.
