    I just love how you always allow your cats to be curious. I've started showing my own cats more things like new smells or new places because I was inspired by you. Gives them all the stimuli and I'm sure a happier life. :)

      I also let them sniff the things that they won't eat (not bread because my cats are bread monsters). I also give them home raised insects as treats, it's very stimulating for them to play with something that moves before eating it

    Jun, I would like to give you a tip for the screws. When you make a hole and you use a drill bit, for example number 5, then you take another number 8 and make a hole right on top. In this way, when inserting the screw, its head will be hidden inside the hole.
