more kitty shelves

For a few years now, there has been only one window shelf on the front porch. It has been very popular. With five cats, the demand has been high for this prime viewing spot.

The shelf was built for Max, years ago


Buddy, the newest kitty is a huge fan of the front porch shelf


Rose likes being on a shelf, regardless of if she has a view


Perfect sized Rose shelf

Dual occupancy is an option


Original setup

This shelf was built back when I only had one cat. It worked well for the one cat and even did ok with two cats. Traffic was getting congested with three cats and now five cats makes for way too much demand for one little shelf. Something needed to be done. 

Introducing a new kitty shelf!

The next alteration will to be widen the shelves. Traffic jams are too common, with a wider shelf other cats could get around the sleeping cat.
