I cannot even begin to describe how incredibly amazing and generous my gifter is! I am absolutely blown away by this gift (and so is Tali).

So my gifter messaged me and told me to be expecting two packages and the first gift that came was a Kong cat scratcher! After Tali played in the box for a bit (because boxes are amazingly fun), she started to investigate the scratcher and right as my boyfriend asked, "how will she know what to do with it?", Tali instantly started scratching at it all happily. I guess it's just a cat thing! We poured some catnip on it which only made it more irresistible for Tali. The scratcher also has a little dangly ball inside of it that Tali just went NUTS for, she didn't want to let it go! (see video below lol) Surprisingly it is still attached.

And then yesterday, the second package came! It was heavy! I had to drag it up the stairs and as soon as I opened it, I saw it was a cat tree! I've been looking around and wanting so bad to buy one for Tali but I kept putting it off until I get a "real job" (since I am still in school) but now Tali doesn't have to wait! I can't even describe how excited I was, I was just blown away. School has been ridiculously stressful and this absolutely made my day. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to put it together right away because I had to go to class but I told Tali that I would do it right when I got home and I did! She was crawling around in her little den before I even had it put together...which was making it hard to assemble the pieces so she waited in the other room until it was put together. And as soon as she saw it, she kept MEOWING! She rarely ever meows, she's not a very vocal cat, but she seemed excited. It might have been because I was so excited that she was like "omg what's going on, I should be excited too!"

Anyways, after lots of investigating it, she loves it now. I may have gotten a little too excited last night and I decided to randomly rearrange my furniture a bit so that I could put it next to my desk, but it's like perfect there because now she has a place to sit next to me while I'm doing homework...instead of sitting on top of my papers. :D

Thank you so much giftee! I'm sorry this is such a long post, it was just such a generous and amazing gift. I also took lots of pictures. Too many pictures! I'm kind of a crazy cat lady.
