My Cat Tree & Celebrating a Birthday

Hola kitties! Pop's staycation is over. All I have to look forward to is the weekend or if I can talk him into working at home at least one day a week. At least the temperature won't be a hunnert degrees. While Pop was on staycation, the peeps only got a paltry two things accomplished. They finally took the Easter tablecloth off the table and my cat tree was completed. I'll bet you all want to know how I liked my tree?

I love it! I've been all over it except the two very top perches. TW is most impressed that I jump over 30 inches from the pink perch/gym into the condo in the new tree "at my advanced age." Yeah, she actually said that. I may be more of a ground dweller than I used to be but I can still be a lean, mean jumping machine.

These pics were all taken on the iPawd late at night so they're not the best quality. We lightened them in Photoshop.

Look how tall it is! I've been in every floor except the two up top. I even climb through the hole. I love the sisal posts the best.

It's another Music Monday so I'm joining the Music Moves Me blog hop hosted by Curious as a Cathy and a chorus of others. This week is another freebie which means it's my choice of themes.

TW's birthday is on Friday. I don't want her to think I li-li-like her or anything but I'm gonna play some songs for her. At first I thought I'd share some of her desert island disks but it's turned out to be female artists. Springsteen, R.E.M., Winter Hours, Dave Edmunds will have to wait for another time. Heh heh.

The obligatory Happy Birthday song that's not the Beatles.

One of her faves and one I used to play at Pawpawty/Nipclub quite a lot when we were celebrating someone's birthday. It's a fun rockabilly tune.

Let's get loud! Another Nipclub fave. I had a different song by Pink picked but TW really likes this one so "Raise Your Glass" to the old bag.

TW has been accused many times of being a Patti Smith doppelganger or look-alike maybe cos they both don't wear makeup. That's alright with TW who adores the other Patti's music and even worked with her and her mom to put out a fanzine. She's sang with Patti—Cod help us all!—and danced with her. I won't let TW out to see concerts anymore but if I did, Patti would be one of the few artists she'd still go to see.

*Looks around* Do I have any street cred left? I hope so. Maybe if I tell you that I'm not getting TW a gift, I can still keep my dignity. This post was her gift.

I hope you enjoyed listening and pawtying. Everyone has different tastes in music so please be polite when commenting. Last week, Kris Kristofferson won in a landslide in my unofficial Battle of the Bands. Should I do another Battle of the Bands?
