This is Hazel’s group, enjoying their new jungle gym. That wasn’t what we intended it for, but that’s clearly what it is in their eyes.
The idea is to set the big dog cage up the way we had it when Hazel was pregnant, with a safe “cave” and all the necessaries (food, water, litter box). Then we hope to lure Hazel into it, so we can get her to the vet for spaying. I haven’t been able to get her into a carrier any other way, so she is the only mama who hasn’t been spayed yet.
Hazel, of course, recognizes the cage for what it is, and stayed a wary distance away as George set it up. The kittens, however, had fewer inhibitions. Puck had none! Predictably, he was “helping” from the beginning, and was inside it before the ends were up. The others soon joined.
We set it up with both doors wide open, and the kittens proceeded to have a blast!
