Building A Cat Fort

So I had this shower bench from when I had surgery on my ankle that was just chillin in the shower stall so I thought it would be nice to put it in the bedroom so have a little place to sit down while getting dressed. 

It ended up mostly being a place to throw clothes on. So it was like whatever. 

And then one day Pumpkin came up with the idea of the cat fort. Kind of. 

Pumpkin loves loves loves to hide behind blankets that are hanging off the bed or couch and attack the feet of anyone who walks by. As well as attack any cat that walks by. LOVES IT. In fact you could say that is her job in life is to wait patiently like a sniper and take down the rest of the household. 

So I thought it would be cute to put a blanket over the bench ...

....so Pumpkin could have a permanent place to throw down and cause havoc. She of course took to it right away. So much in fact that we now call it the Pie Fort (Pumpkins nick name is Pie).

You can see her little paw sicking out after she took a swipe at my hand that happened to be messing with the blanket. 

So it stayed this way for a while, with clothes still pilling on top of the bench and with all the clothes I noticed that the cats seemed to love sleeping on top of them. But they only liked sleeping on top of the bench when there was enough clothes on top to hide the fact that the top of the bench is just slats.

So I folded a really nice thick fleece blanket on top and wala! Instant love!

After that I was all like "I am a rock star" and that was that. But soon I noticed that when main blanket (The Sponge Bob blanket) would get pulled down so it was half on the floor half on the bench the kitties would sleep ON the blanket instead of the floor. So of course I had to put a blanket on the floor under the bench.

And here is Pumpkin already loving it:

And that is how you build a cat fort. Although really it is just how you arrange 3 blankets on and under a shower bench for the amusement of your cats because you are a crazy cat lady.
