Also, while we know we won't be able to complete them for a while, we were planning to do some preliminary work for building a cat tower. Right now we just have a small tower by the couch. Sometimes two of them share it but it's really only built for one (especially when that one is our 20 lb cat Baldur). We think we should build something they can all share, maybe in the dining room where there's a nice morning sunbeam. I've even made a list of ideas to create a Zelda themed cat tower. Other pet projects we are considering include cat shelves in other rooms of the house, a litter box screen of some sort to keep the dog out of it, and building a half door for our office so the cats can get in but the dog can't. We've been keeping the office closed because it's not been puppy proofed at all but one of the litter boxes is in there and the door seems like an easy fix.
Then throughout the week, the animals have added projects to the list. First, we noticed that we have a broken drawer in the kitchen that Gil's started getting into and that it won't be long before he can reach the counter. Then Curry figured out how to open the closet where we keep their food so that has to be fixed. Finally, the cat's have torn up the carpet under our bedroom door so much that sometimes it won't open because the carpet is pushed up in the way.
In almost an afterthought we also decided we need to think up some kind of storage plan for all of the new pet toys and treats and leashes and such we have cluttering things up at the moment. Hopefully we can all find some time to relax together as well but it sounds like its going to be a long and not so relaxing weekend.
