Hi everyone! It's Cody, and I am super excited to tell you about my new
Teepee and my
Cat Chalet, which were both sent to me to review by
Cascades Boutique!
Cascades makes
Pet Homes made from recycled cardboard! How "green" is that? All cats love playing in cardboard boxes, well the great people at
Cascades took that concept a step further by creating
Teepees and
Cat Chalets for your kitties to hide in, sleep in or just plain have a good 'ol time in!
A number of bloggers were sent a
Teepee or a
Cat Chalet (or both!) to review and to conduct their own give-aways, my Mom and I were just a couple of the lucky recipients!
The first item that we received was the
Cat Teepee:

The easy to assemble instructions
are written right on the box |
 |
When I saw all of the pieces
I had my concerns.
I felt this was a job
that Mom would need my help with.
I chose to supervise
the entire construction process. |
 |
I was shocked at how easy it was
for Mom to assemble the Teepee.
The Teepee is designed
so that you can decorate it the way you would like to
have it decorated.
It comes with six decorations
that can be installed on the front:
a dream catcher, a feather,
a tomahawk, eagle, a bull's head
and a banner.
Mom & I felt that the Teepee
needed a little color.
Mom pulled out some markers
and I chose what colors we would use. |
 |
"Here Mom!
How about this black marker
to put my name over the door of the Teepee?" |
 |
Mom colored the cardboard feather red
and she put my name on the front of the Teepee |
 |
It was impawtant for me to inspect
the interior sleeping area |
 |
This is one terrific Teepee!!
I love it!
I hope the Cowboys don't find me here! |
 |
Mom re-arranged "our' office
and put the Teepee right next to her desk.
This is so I can keep a lookout
for Cowboys and dangerous animals
that might come into "our" office! |
Then, Saturday we were surprised to receive yet
ANOTHER package from
Cascades Boutique! We were shocked to find that they had sent us their
Cardboard Cat Chalet!
Mom didn't take many photos of the setup on this one because she found the
Chalet to be much more of a challenge to setup than the
Teepee had been. (That could easily be because Mom is all paws when it comes to putting things together). From what I could see on other blogs no one else had a problem setting it up except for my Mom!
 |
She did it!
Mom's house doesn't look as good
as some of the other blogger's houses
she has seen, but for her limited skills,
she did quite well!
She said when she was assembling this
she wondered if the recycled cardboard
that was used for this Chalet
came from old pizza boxes because
she could swear she smelled pizza
as she was putting it together! |
 |
Here is how it looks
when a "normal" person
puts it together
