Another Friday Felines focusing on the catio. While Saturday was rainy, Sunday was dry enough (at first) to get some more work done in the catio.

I got another load of rocks, and finished off the biggest corner.

While it’s definitely costing more than I planned (and taking longer), it does look really good. And I don’t think I showed you my thrifted bistro set.

Every since we built the catio, I’ve wanted a bistro set for it. While there’s lots of cat seating, the only place for me to sit was on the steps. We found this one about month ago. It was a little rusty but..

Dave worked his magic on it and now it’s as good as new. I picked up some inexpensive cushions at Giant Tiger, and now I have a nice spot to take a break!

Of course, I can’t take a break for long – I’ve got to go buy and spread more rocks. There’s still the rest of the paths to cover. It’s going to take a while though – I’m buying $200 worth each week – because that’s all I can afford at the moment, and all the jeep can carry. (We learned our lesson with the Escape not to overload on weight)

So in the meantime, I’ve been weeding and moving things around. Because I’ve now got the bistro set in the corner, I needed to find a spot for their wicker and adirondack chairs. I’m still working on ideas for the adirondack, but I found the perfect spot for the wicker one.

Right in the far corner, under the Honey Suckle. Technically, it’s in the garden space. But that corner was one of Burton’s favorite nap spots, so nothing I put there ever lived long anyway. I just had a to move some daffodils to make enough space. I think it’s going to look so cozy when the plants grow up beside it.

So far, it seems like the change is accepted!
