My night was interesting. Mom is moving our day
area, where we hang out when she is at work, to the
downstairs. She's been bringing home boxes from work
that her and Dad tape up and cut holes into. These
make fun hiding places. Everyone was running around
trying to figure out why some of the cat beds were moving.
They were also concerned about the cat towers. Phoebe
was especially concerned. Her tower is called "Phoebe's
tower of feline power". She sits up on the top and watches
all. Sometimes I sneak into the little hole/cubby. When
Phoebe is in the hole, Mom says she looks like an owl.

Velvet isn't too cool with all of this. She and Nimbus used
to have the entire downstairs to themselves. Mom says its
time for everyone to get along. She doesn't think it is fair
that Phoebe and I have to have a small area upstairs when
the whole finished basement can be everyone's playground.
It even has carpet. I miss Nimbus when I can't play with him
during the day. Mom is taking care to introduce us slowly so
that Velvet and Phoebe don't fight. Velvet and Nimbus will
hang out in the big bedroom downstairs while we get used to
the space. Did I ever tell you that Velvet is quite the mean
queen? She kind of gets along with us boys (she still chases
and whaps us sometimes) but she does not like Phoebe and
Phoebe does not like her. I think that it was because of the
life she had before she came to live with us. Someday when I
have more time I'll tell you about it.
