Home in New Zealand

Siberian cat Harley on a 2-metre-tall scratching postIt’s great to be home!

After four years living in Toronto, we’ve returned to Auckland and are enjoying the arrival of summer, even if it’s been a bit cold, windy and rainy the past few weeks.

The cats seem not to have minded the long trip, with a stopover for a couple of days in Vancouver.

Harley, our young male, loves his new open-air cat run attached to our house and chooses to spend about half his time there, watching the birds and listening to their unfamiliar songs.

Within a few minutes of spotting the new, two-metre-tall, scratching post, Harley had climbed to the “crow’s nest” for a good look over his new surroundings and the dozens of boxes waiting to be unpacked. It’s now one of his favourite perches.

Before the cats arrived, I built three scratching posts, all at least 1.2 metres tall. We believe cats need tall posts in order to stretch and climb while they are scratching.
