I wouldn't say that your house could stay uncluttered if
you use these tips.

l. Take and old sock, stuff another one inside, sprinkle
cat nip and tie a knot for a sock toy that Kitty will love.

2. Put bowls of water everywhere to encourage Kitty to drink,

3. Rub Kitty around the face as his peer group does in
grooming.

4. Leave the cat carrier out so he can scent mark it,(hopefully with his face and whiskers) and can explore
and investigate it.

5. We all know this one...let him have boxes and paper
bags for playing.

I have a non cat one too. Leave a bar of unwrapped soap
in the closet with woolen items. I was hesitant to try it
but left it with my good wool coats and it worked. I used
Yardley's English lavender because I love the smell.

It is gloriously sunny, though not warm, outside and the
snow has melted a lot. I can get to the library to stock
up on books and movies before the next one due Wed.

I am so pleased. I got biege drapes at the TAFB thrift
shop which is only open for Christmas. They have French
longhand in black written on them. The cornice board that
Ted made was a little short but I was able to find plain
sheers in a slightly lighter color and a scarf to conceal
hot short the cornice board is. It is very pretty against
the pastel blue walls...maybe we will exercise more if we
have something pretty to look at. I have custom drapes
in the rest of the house that came with it. Our north wall
in the family room is uncurtained but I am thinking of
putting up sheers. There is no need for privacy because
it opens onto a private school yard.
