Just Cats Being Cats

 I love my cats. They are the most amazing creatures ever. 

But they are also very destructive! I guess living in a house with paper doors isn't a good idea with nine cats!

This is the tatami room. 

The top photo shows the shoji doors that separate the tatami room from the engawa, which is like a corridor that runs in front of a tatami room.

The cats don't wait for the doors to be opened; they just climb through the shoji!

The bottom photo shows the doors that lead to the entrance and the corridor. They are completely destroyed. There is a hole in the one that the cats can crawl through!

I tried to stop them from scratching at the doors, but I'm not here all the time. They have lots of scratching boards around the house as well. Maybe some vertical ones would help!

Once I have a bit of money, I will change out these doors. Also, I saw some shoji paper that is strong enough so the cats can't break it! But I wonder if the manufacturers know how strong my cats are?

Alan is a lot better. I really hope he doesn't get sick again. 

Alan, waiting for dinner!
