Man builds cardboard castle for his cat...

A present for my cat 'Rufus'. He began to resent me due to painful ear drops to fix an infection. I would return from work and he would run from me! Now the ears are better I wanted to do something to show my gratitude for his putting up with my torture. Rufus loves boxes as all cats do so this is what I made for him. The music is from my brother Ollie's band, 'Parallel Lions', I hope you don't mind me using it bro. Enjoy.

Wonder what it is about boxes that cats are so attracted to? Pull out a box or open a suitcase, and they are going to check it out.

Very cute! Thanks for posting.

Good for you, you are a good man.

Careful with those ears! Our oldest boy Lancelot lost his hearing years ago because a negligent vet rinsed his ears with a chlorhexadine solution. NEVER EVER let them do that. It all sprang from ear infections....he had been feral the 1st 2 years of his life, apparently that makes them much more susceptible to infection. Your experience with ear drops, etc. really rings a bell.

Rufus is obviously a wonderful lad and a very lucky kitty. Good vibes to you both.

I built a much smaller thing like this for one of my parrots. He loved getting lost inside and chewing the whole thing to shreds over the course of a week.
