So, what do I think about living here? I think it is great! The construction part sucked, but everything else rocks for us felines (humans seem real please with the relocation too)! Our perks include:
- The best part is the porch we can hang out on! At the old place we had to stay inside. Windows here provide us with plenty of entertainment. Fewer birds, but a lot more action. Best is human watching during pool season.
- The new cat lotus tree that all humans think is to big is worth every penny. It keeps the girl cats happy, and we all know what it is like to live with angry spayed felines.
- Us felines have our own secluded powder room (and yes the installation of the cat door was outsourced). There is even a trash chute just a few steps out the front door to relocate our scat.
- There are lots of great places to hide, sleep and sunbath! The less social ones of us do appreciate that there is now carpet is now under the master bed...
- Neighbors are nice. The folks on our floor don't get upset when I slip out and run up and down the hall (Jenifer's place is most intriguing to me).
- Mary our favorite cat sitter will still come and take care of us here! Although Tom doesn't understand how two people can live peacefully in a home that is 500 square feet smaller than their former home (us fat cats love not having to walk so far).
So my question to the visitors that are about to arrive is why did y'all wait till they moved into a smaller condo to come visit for a longer period of time? The accommodations are perfect for them, but less than five star for you. I have identified a few things I think you should know about before you arrive.#1 Your guest room has no privacy. They cut out holes in the wall to minimize the feeling of claustrophobia in the tiny room. The guest room is now more commonly known as the music room (entertainment may be a better title). They squeezed a piano, book/media case and foldout sofa in this small room. The good news is as far as fold out sofas go, this one is good.
#2 You will probably want to bath in their master bath shower. This place has some dumb architectural issues. It is near impossible for the old fat black cat to jump up on the bathtub rim, how can any human climb in?
#3 Trains! Who knew that this town had so many trains coming through? If you spend enough time here, they become soothing. But if you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs.
#4 They do have a TV, but no cable (you won't be able to watch the TV with the sleeper sofa pulled out anyway). So to watch TV you will have to go to a sports bar up the street, visit the community room or turn on a computer (they will provide you with the WIFI password) They do nicely with Hulu, Netflix and the web. But then again we all know they aren't normal people.
#5 It is like Fort Knox here! You need a "fob" to drive or walk in, get on the elevator and to get onto the community room. A few quiet neighbors without permanent lodging enjoy lounging on the benches outside the gates, but we are respectful of each other and live in peace.
#6 Good news is they now have a microwave!
Other than that, we all look forward to your visit! If you don't like it, Marriott Springhill Suites is next door!
