Spoiled Kitty

Mr. Nivose says: Our cat Magus is quite spoiled. In addition to the two cat beds she moved in with, I've made her two cardboard box houses, a shelf near the window, a bed near that and we often make up our bed for her during the day. Furthermore, she'll use our bed whether it's made or not, steal our comfy chairs and spread out on the new couch.
Magus on the bed:
She doesn't usually like to be covered up, but sometimes she covers herself.

She likes a wide variety of human foods. Cheeses and butter. Mayonnaise, beans, olives, chips!, meats. We know this because of her on going taste tests.
She also likes kitty treats.
This month we've started taking her out on a leash. She wants very much to go outside, but when we take her all she does is sit around and eat grass. Exploring seems to come second.

Included in the pictures are two from a time when a neighborhood cat came up to the outside of our window. Magus was not impressed.

Mrs. Nivose says: One day while I was at work, Peter made a couple beds for Magus and placed them near the heaters. He makes new beds for her from time to time. Of the beds Peter has made for her, she probably spends the most time on the one next to the window, soaking up afternoon sun. She likes her cave a lot, too. We put the bed Heidi made under a cabinet and hung a towel over the opening so Magus could have a hiding place. She has to share it with cans of black olives though.

When Magus and I moved into Megan and Slayer's house, it wasn't long before Magus took over Slayer's bed on the living room chair. Magus liked the bed so much that Megan let her keep it and sent it along with us when we moved to Fort Collins. Here's Magus sleeping in Slayer's bed in our hallway.

I don't know why the bed ended up in the hallway. Right now it's in the living room next to one of Peter's bikes. Magus still sleeps in it frequently, but doesn't spend as much time in it now as she does on our bed or the rocking chair.

Magus likes taco chips A LOT, and comes running whenever she hears a bag crinkle, even if the bag doesn't hold chips. One night Peter and I made nachos for dinner and I made a special nacho for Magus. I topped a few chip fragments with half an olive and some cheddar- some of her other favorite foods. She wasn't as excited about the nacho as I thought she would be though. She sniffed it several times, nibbled at it a little, but mostly ignored it. I was a little miffed that she turned her nose up at her special nacho.
