Kitty Gym

IT'S ELECTION DAY: GO VOTE. Unless you're a Republican, then stay home, it's raining.
This morning I found exactly four pieces of my daughters clothing that have strings on them scattered around the house. Gigi must have been busy during the night dragging them in her mouth down the steps and into my room and the hallway. She had pajama tops, bikini bottoms and other assorted camisoles and things. So, since she is obviously looking for some fun, I looked at a website called catsplay.com, and lo and behold I found this. A Kitty Gym--"Your cat will be the envy of the neighborhood with this beautiful playground with its multi-level climbing layers, several scratching areas, and plenty of resting space. The Cat Tree top is fashioned like a "nest" - it's 24" round and the depth ranges from 3" to 6". The top platform is padded, and like all our units is lined with a thermal layer to retain the cat's body heat for greater comfort. The top gives your cat an area from which he or she can survey their "kingdom", and from where the more important decisions of the day can be made." The kitty gym is 7 feet tall, 53" wide and its trunk is 12" in diameter--not to mention that it weighs 150 lbs. Whoa. Oh yes, it is listed at $899. Do people really buy these?
