A View From Here

Not my average post title I think you’ll agree.

As you must be aware by now Ste and I are moving to Grandma’s for the time being – that includes the kitties and the fish too.
Well, of course the fish aren’t too much of a problem – they’re pretty good at staying in the tank

Kitties on the other hand like to wander about.
Here in our flat we have cat flaps in the bathroom and bedroom doors. The bathroom because we like to close the door but their potty is in the bathroom. The bedroom because it means we can open the window to allow them to go out without chilling the whole flat by closing the bedroom door (and we prefer our bedroom on the cool side), but they can still get back in for food, water or plain ol’ comfort. Although, in the colder, winter months they don’t get to go out much at all. We don’t have a cat flap to the direct outside as our only door leads into a communal hallway not to outside.

Now, there is no way that Grandma is going to allow us to cut holes in her doors for cat flaps! It’s not going to happen, so we’re going to have to be a little creative with where we put stuff like the potty so that kitties can still get to it when they need too.
There are benefits, though. For starters when it gets warmer they’ll be able to go out the door to a garden instead of out a window to a courtyard area.

Once we are fortunate enough to find a place of our own again one day I really really want one (or more!) of these cat flaps from SUREFLAP – they work by recognising your cat’s existing microchip and can store up to 32 different cat’s chips in it’s memory.
This means no need for collars which kitties invariably end up losing, or run the risk of getting them caught up on something.

However, at almost £80.00 for a cat flap they are super expensive. I guess I’ll just have to keep dreaming for now and maybe one day we’ll win the lottery =)

This is not a sponsored post – I just happened to see these cat flaps and fell in love.
