Continued from the previous post on Tuesday
EJ felt the renovations was well worth it despite the many incoveniences, missed lunches and constant cleaning.
The cats had to be caged up for at least eight hours for the making of the 'mouse hole'.
It was hard work drilling through the wall.
By the time the cement at and around the 'mouse hole' dried, it was evening. When the workers finished for the day and left, the cats were let out. These were their responses.
See how Kenggy's body reacted looking through the 'mouse hole'. Note the floor tiles are of different sizes and colours. In the background are the beautiful hand-drawn tiles. The trays near the wall are the cats' extra toilet for just in case a few of them need to go.
Kenggy testing out the 'mouse hole'...
...and here is her certified approval!
Perhaps the 'mouse hole' should be renamed as 'Meow Hole'! What do you think?
PS: EJ would like to thank Linda (EJ's classmate since primary days) for those lovely tiles; Susan Chan (EJ's mom's neighbour) for the tiles; EJ's mom for the tiles; Tony and Sally for the work well done. The kitties meowed their thanks.

BRILLIANT! Both the idea, and the toll collecting kitty!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! This was a lot of work but clearly so worth it. I love all the kitties' responses. I like Tortie collecting toll. The best, of course, is Kenggy's stumps of approval. LOL! The tiles are so lovely. Looks like the Mouse Hole or Meow Hole is a complete success!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful, and obviously it was a community effort. Aren't friends great? Almost as great as cats? Maybe. ;~) I like "mouse hole" - it sounds so perfect for a roomful of cats.

The mouse hole is really cool and everyone loves it! What a wonderful space, and with such lovely tiles, too! The last photo is great!
ReplyDeleteHow great is that hole!! They look so happy and seem to love it. The tiles are really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI loved all the pictures.
Meooowww
ReplyDeleteThey all looked pleased! :)
I am trying to imagine ... the mouse hole leads from where to where?
I laughed so hard at the Toll Collector that I nearly choked on my coffee! :-)
ReplyDeleteYour cats must spend all their waking hours offering prayers of thanks for their good fortune. My cat, in fact, prays that she can move to your house! LOL.
You are a wonderful person to do this for your cats and I think your efforts are appreciated by all. The pictures are great but you set a very high standard for the rest of us cat lovers to follow. All cats will be demanding such holes and the sound of drilling and sawing will be heard around the world.
ReplyDeleteWow, This is so cool ! Puddy can't wait till you completed the renovation. Just be Fun house for cats !
ReplyDeleteBy the way I really love your " Meow Hole" and the beautiful tiles..All you done it's proof how much you love your kids...I'm very happy with you. I can't wait to see the next post : )

Thank you all for your comments and encouragements as well as allowing me to share my joy and happiness including funny moments with my cats.
ReplyDeleteBoom: Please let Puddy know that this Meow Hole renovation was done 2 years ago and I am now slowly trying to make it better myself.
Lupie: The Meow Hole was done specifically for Kenggy to move from Meow Room to Meow Yard and vice versa.
Awwwww Beautiful Kenggy approves!! Awwww this is such a lovely thing to do for her - and should definitely be the Meow Hole!!!
ReplyDeleteThe tiles are very pretty!! Thank you EJ and friends and family for giving all your amazing kitties such a wonderful place!!! Especially for Tortie to collect kitty Toll! LOL!
Take care

It was a terrific idea that turned out beautifully! And the hand-painted tiles are lovely too, add a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteWe are doing the happy dance to celebrate Kenggy's mousehole - the fees will also give Kenggy some money to go in the treat fund!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a real cat's palace ! Buckingham is just a pale building against this ! Wonderful job and happy cats !
ReplyDeleteThose are such wonderful pictures of all of them testing the new hole. We really like that. Good job of making that hole. They sure are happy.

I think your cats are really sooo lucky to have someone like you! I love the meow hole - wish I can do one like that but I'm sure the apartment manager will come after me!
ReplyDeleteLOve the funny coments by the cats too, especially the toll collector.
i like the multi tile - last cat dead ringer for Kissipurr
ReplyDeleteNICE PLACE FOR CATS..I SHARED THIS IN MY FB FAN PAGE...
ReplyDeleteMEOW Hole!! All right!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool! I'm clearly late to the party but is the mouse hole how they get from inside to outside or is it just a way to get from one enclosed room to another. Whatever the case I love it and clearly the cats do it!
