indoors Arrival Story: My husband and I rescued Melody and her two sisters and two brothers from a neighbor's backyard on April 28, 2007, and nicknamed them the Furbies. Melody was the only one out of the five that my husband caught during the rescue. He had to get a ladder to climb over a fence to get to the area where she was. Melody was cowered under an overgrown shrub and didn't try to run away. Bio: After we decided that we were going to keep Enzo, Melody was the last one that we were still trying to find another home for. When that home could not be found, I knew I had an emotional deadline (like a few more days, LOL) before I was going to talk to my husband about keeping her too, but he had already read my mind. I just did not want to advertise her availability anywhere if I could not find her a great home through family and friends. Melody is full of personality and alot of fun.

She recognized that sound right away and when she walked into the kitchen I was sitting next to the stove on the counter. One of the burners on our gas stove was "ignited". The knobs are on the front of the stove.
It was an accident and I think I know how I did it. I was walking across the stove and my back leg slipped and I somehow managed to push the knob in and turn it a little.
Well, this made Mom buy some stove knob covers made by Safety 1st for children. Boy, she was glad it happened while she was home and I was too because none of us would have known how to turn it off.
Mom knew it wasn't Huey because he was out walking with Dad and he doesn't counter-surf, or stove-surf! I was the only one around at the time.
Mom has had cats all her adult life and has never had this happen, but it was a wake-up call for sure!
Our new wall beds and shelves arrived earlier this week and Dad had already planned to take the day off today so it was perfect.
Mom had the side of her face against the wall several times just to see what she thought we would see jumping from one shelf to another so that we would have enough room.
I actually pulled myself up from the bottom bed to the middle shelf instead of using the bottom shelf, which made mom giggle. So far, I'm the only cat who has jumped onto the top bed.
Thank you, Dad, for putting them up for us bright and early this morning because you knew Mom couldn't wait, and even while your hair was sticking up in the air because you hadn't showered yet. MOL
Afterwards, my parents took Huey to go see Santa at Petco and came back with an ottoman for us. That was put in the master bedroom where our wall beds and shelves are, so Mom has to see if any of us are using it so we can add pictures.
We hope all our friends are having a nice Thanksgiving! We sure appreciate all of the friendships we've made over the years. Thank you from all of us!
A couple of weeks ago, Mom got rid of alot of junk in the house and started rearranging our cat furniture. That was so exciting because it was like having brand new furniture. When we saw some of our cat trees all lined up, we thought to ourselves that it was starting to look like Zack and Zoey's cat room! MOL!
We've always enjoyed watching Beepers and Ashlynne enjoying their wall shelves, so Mom started looking around the house trying to figure out where she could give us some wall space for something like that. She finally cleared part of a wall in the master bedroom.
Mom ran across some wall beds and matching shelves on the internet that she really liked and Zack and Zoey's mom helped her find them at the best price, which was from Great Lakes Cat Furniture. They're made to order so we hope to get them soon!
In the meantime, for all you Moderncat readers, you've probably seen the Curve wall bed by Akemi Tanaka. Mom found them on Brookstone.com at a sale price and ordered one on Sunday. It arrived yesterday and Mom cleared a wall in the living room for it. Dad put it up for us this morning and since I was the first one to get on it I get to add the first picture!
