A ramp for the cat

Dishes 003

We do love our animals around here.  And my husband is one to spoil them a little.  He is very fond of Pumpkin, and leaves his office door open for her to visit when he is upstairs working. But being the soft hearted guy that he is, he worried about her climbing the vines to get up on the deck.

So, he built her a ramp, complete with stair steps for good footing while climbing.

Then, he taught her to use it by treating her with some melted ice cream and running upstairs to call her up, then running back down to get her to walk down the ramp to get another lick of ice cream.

He even removed one of the slats on the railing for her to get through easier. (It is still too narrow for a small child to squeeze through).

She is pretty happy with the set up. I think we might get a pet door that fits into his sliding glass door so she can pop in as she pleases once summer comes and it gets too hot and buggy around here to leave the door open.

She loves her ramp and private patio so much, she had her kittens up there! 5 little furry balls of cuteness.
