I'm glad you guys like the light switches. They represent a Mexican style associated with the Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) -- November 1st. The Mexicanos are big on celebrating the dead.

She slept in it more in our last place, but the new apartment is so big and there's so many places for her to crash (like on top of the cabinets above the washer and dryer), that she's been in her nest less and less. I still catch her up there though. It gives her a nice southerly view of Main Street, and I think she digs watching all the cars go by. If you're interested in making one, the nest itself is just a large mixing bowl with a hole drilled through the bottom of it so that the bolt can go into the top of the tree branch. Then there's a circular piece of wood inside the bowl to keep it steady, then a piece of foam over the wood, then a little mattress that our friend sewed together for us. The same friend (the woman who made the entire tree in the first place) also sewed together the fabric on the outside of the bowl, the thing that makes it look like a sunflower (she may have had some help from another friend of mine too). It's a pretty neat contraption. I had to take it apart over the weekend because, thanks to the two outdoor cats who lived here before us, Oonagh's got fleas, and I had to wash all her sleeping areas. Anyway, you got nothing better to do. So do it up! Yeah, she sleeps in the top a lot, mostly during the day.
