In today's edition of Adventures with Astrid, the pup is here to share another one of her favorite paths in our neighborhood.
We're admittedly going to wait until next week to show you the final destination. At that time, you'll also get to see why we never skip Astrid's annual leptospirosis vaccine.
Happy Wednesday, friends!

We're in the last stretch of our tips on how to decorate your home around your furbabies. Yesterday's tip involved helping give your kitty or pup a window view by putting a cat tree, couch, or chair beside the window. Today's tip takes this concept in another direction, and involves looking into ways to make your home even more accessible to and traversable by your feline furbabies. For example, there are cat shelves on the market that can be placed along your home's walls, and which can be placed in ways that allow your kitty to not only rest on the shelves, but to also to travel the perimeter of a room by way of those wall shelves. There are plenty of other similar features available on the market as well, including walkways, bridges, ladders, and all sorts of items that can allow your furbaby to travel throughout the house in this fun, unique way. If interested, you could intersperse such wall shelves or walkways throughout the house. Or, if you have the space and ability, you could dedicate one room in the house to this, so that said room is some semblance of a playroom or jungle gym for your kitty. In the wild, cats often travel or sleep on elevated surfaces, such as trees or mountains. That's why many cats enjoy setups such as wall shelves or walkways, as this can mimic the environment of their wild ancestors.

Oh sure, tease us!
Astrid is a lucky pup. Nice drawing and great tips.
Learning how to transform our homes into happier environments for our cats is the subject of a thoroughly enjoyable book by Bob Walker that's entitled "The Cat's House." In it, he tells how he made his entire home into a playground for his many cats. Here's the Amazon link to his book.

We're excited to see where you're headed!
It looks beautiful so far, quite green and peaceful.
You sure are enjoying your walk, Astrid!
Looks like a nice, shady spot for a walk. Awesome.
Hope mowing went well.
Cats up a kitty tree, always fun. Watching over everyone.

My IWSG blog post discussed my love of originality. I'm looking forward to the bout of books readathon and WEP's flash fiction later this month.
Life threw me a curveball with a neighborhood crisis this week, but we got through it.
Fun fact: August is the only name of a month that's also a popular name among 👶 baby boys.

Love how to decorate your home for your kitty. I happen to have the whole house as my playroom, but alas, my back legs now keep me from jumping and running and climbing, for example, on a big rock that is part of mama's office. Love your blog/.
