We got our kitties a cat tree / kitten castle, whatever you want to call it. After it was delivered, the cats slowly crept out of the bedroom to investigate. As soon as they came around the corner and saw the castle out of the corner of their eye, the got scared and ran away. Yes, I know. I’m ashamed of our cats. Anyway they eventually figured out that it was not going to move or attack them or anything and started climbing and playing. It’s fun to watch.

Note: If you have cats as timid as ours and scared of everything (when my cellphone rings, Boomer runs and hides under the bed), then it is not a good idea to pick one up and try to introduce him to a kitten castle.
Cats like to make biscuits. When they’re on the couch and happy, and they start kneading the cushion, this is called a happy couch biscuit. When they come and make biscuits on your leg, this is a love biscuit. When you pick them up and hold them like a baby and scratch their stomach, they then make happy air biscuits (same motion, just in the air). However, there is another form of biscuit they can make. Like for example when you try to forcibly introduce Boomer to a new kitten castle, he likes to make what I call escape biscuits. These are different because they are usually made with the back paws and are not happy or fun or love. When Boomer saw that I was taking him closer to the new and scary castle, he made an escape biscuit on the palm of my hand. It hurt really bad. And it made some of those horrible skin cutting noises as well. If you’ve ever been deeply lacerated by a cat’s claws before, then you know the sound I’m talking about. It’s like little pops as it rips through you’re flesh.
