We have had 10 cats appear on our property since we moved in 10 years ago. Most of them were very ill and we have brought them back to health. Spydr is the last cat that we found in our barn that was very sick for many months. Spydr happens to be my favorite cat. She is tiny - 6 lbs and is the most lovable cat around. But this little peanut head will not use the litter box upstairs in our house but will use the litterbox if it is in the basement. So it kills me that I have to keep her in our basement. I have her with three other strays that we found so she is not lonely. I fixed up one section of our basement that has windows for sunshine and the cats can look out. I have cat playhouse, cat tunnel, little chairs small couches, and little boxes all arranged in our basement. I visit the cats at least three times a day and do spend quiet time with them that I have found that I look forward too and enjoy. I can say that my upper level of my house is very clean since the cats are downstairs in the basement. That is a nice trade off for me because I would have never done what Idid if she used the litterbox upstairs. So sometimes pets take us in a direction that we might not have thought about and that is okay.For more information about our farm click the picture under Wissler Alpaca Farm Website on the left side of this post.
