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! |
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! |
