That looks irresistible to a cat. Our dog Beau, who returned to the source 14 years ago, would love living at your digs. One his best pals was Tai Tai the cat.
Field Marshal Turkish von Turkenstein (commander, 1st Feline Home Defense Force) frequently employed the Rainbow Snake in his readiness exercises. Hard to believe he’s been gone for nearly two years. I keep expecting to hear him meowing outside the bedroom door.
My last Siamese was named Thai, he got mauled to death on the front porch by stray dogs back in the mid 80s. He was a strange cat who would jump shoulder-high to grab a potato chip out of my hand.
The Turk was a fine leaper and climber as a young recruit. He spent a lot of time in the trees around our place in Bibleburg before we decided he shouldn’t roam untethered anymore.
Once I saw him crouched at the base of the 6-foot redwood fence in our backyard. The neighbors had a tall bird feeder on their side, just a wee bit too close to the fence. Zoom, the Turk sprang straight up and snagged a bird off the damn thing. Whoever said white guys can’t jump never saw Turkish in his prime.

Tai Tai! We had a Tai Tai in our home while I was growing up. He was a great cat. He passed on in about 1974.
