Fat Cat Perch

Well the cat step, or "fat cat perch" went in this weekend before the snow flew. Neil did a great job fabricating it out of a bent piece of 3/16" stainless steel plate. Quite rugged because, as he put it, the cat needs to stay off the kitty treats. The plate is routed in to the back of the siding and lagged into the studs from the front. It can nearly support me (but I probably need to stay off the kitty treats as well). A much better solution than the barrel-on-a-cooler step.

The ramp was trimmed but I didn't get any good shots before it snowed. The brackets have gone on for the deck rails and I hope to get those in in the next two weeks. A few electrical items should be cleaned up this week as well.

Hope its paws aren't wet when it jumps up on it when its cold.

Yeah, I've been trying to get the cat to lick the plate but to no avail. It won't take a triple-dog dare. Maybe a triple-cat dare?
