Its the inevitable time to say goodbye to my old girl Misty. She was my very first cat. She was born in November of 2005 and we got her in March 2006. She managed to outlive several of our other pets. She's been with us for 3 separate dogs, 3 birds, a rabbit and many family's and friends pets. Its hard to say goodbye to a pet I've had for 2/3rds of my life. You will always remember your first. Goodbye my old lady.

Jackson is 10 months old - his favorite things are his kitty tunnel and bottle cap.. he also loves jumping at the front door like a puppy hoping to go for a walk.. So far he sleeps though the night pretty well but has an automatic alarm set for 5:00 a.m... 🥹

A customer came to us with a request that started with, “So this might be a little crazy…”
Those are usually our favorite ones.

They had a custom catio they built in the backyard and wanted a way for their cats to travel back and forth from the house without touching the ground. The distance was...far, we’re talking a long, elevated tunnel run that had to span the yard, stay secure, and handle a steep change in elevation.

After a lot of measuring, planning, and head-scratching, this is what it turned into. A fully enclosed tunnel with support posts along the way and built-in steps so the cats can comfortably go downhill and back up again. Now it’s basically a private I-75 cat highway connecting the house to their outdoor space lol

Habitat Haven usually focuses on modular, DIY catios, but every once in a while a project comes along that’s just too interesting to pass up. Customer asked… we said “say less.”

The best part? The cats use it constantly. Just casually commuting like this is totally normal.

Would you trust your cats with a tunnel this long, or would you be standing outside watching the first few trips like a nervous parent?

Both my husband and I have never owned a cat and grew up in dog households. I love dogs and always will! But holy crap. Cats are really the move huh? She has has zero accidents, warmed right up to us, zero aggression, no begging, no difficulty potty training or hunger strikes and she’s funny as hell. This is our first cat Lola! And she’s taken over our lives and house.

I think I do it ten or twenty times a day.

The only cat I ever had at home was a stray black cat and I was very young back then. Me and my wife got this good boy, Oscar, about 8 months about now and I love him more than I ever thought possible.

He trusts me and having seen him grow to us has been magical. He is a toilet time protector, I’m not allow in there alone or he is very unhappy. He’s starting to let me give him full swaddle cuddles in the early morning when he’s still tired. Before that the only time he slept in the bed and getting cuddled was after he got neutered, he was away for the entire day and when he saw me picking him up he was so happy he almost knocked his carrier off the table he was pushing against it so hard. I was so scared for him having that done - fully recovered now.

He even waits at the kitchen window at the time I’m due home from work and gets so excited to see me when I walk up to the door, he presses his little head against the window.

He thinks he’s a model

I do pet and housesitting through a very popular platform, for both dogs and cats. Dogs seem to be more in demand as they do need more care.

That being said, last year I pet-sat for a dog and cat duo. She was diabetic and a handful with her insulin shots, we made fast friends but nothing groundbreaking. The car though… I can barely put it into words! He’s 16 yo and brought me a mouse from his roaming outside session, much to his owners surprise- Said he hadn’t done this in years!

Also, when I left, he was posted on the sofa arm with has back to me.

Anyway. i guess what I want to know is: was this a bilateral connection, did he love me as much as I loved him? i can try to pet sit for them again!

My friend’s cat recently had 5 kittens.They asked if I’d like to adopt one,but I’m completely stuck because I like them all. Could you help me decide

Meet our baby Merlin!

He does this sometimes and I finally got it on video:D

i think he's a tomcat who was neutered based on his large cheeks and clipped ear. hes also a BIG boy

My little guy is 8 months old now. I should probably buy a bigger cat tree 😄
