Ramp it Up!

We have a neato ledge above our hallway kind of like the one in Smidgen's room above the closet.  Smidgen and I used to launch from this cat tree up to the ledge... and in the process we kind of scratched up the wall…
This is me, Pip.  Can you tell?  I look so small!

A few years ago mom found these carpeted shelves/ramps an' made this set up for us:
Sometimes Pip an' Smidge, if they are in a fit of zoomies, will still launch from the cat tree to the ledge. I always use the ramps like a good kitty! Can you see their scratchies on the wall (mom, I think it’s about time you painted).

Thanks everyone for the nice compliments on our new tree.  We are really having fun with it!  The little ramp back-history is because mom still has one left over that she hasn't put on the wall!  The piece de resistance with the new tree was for us to have this ramp to make it easier reaching the ledge above the closet.  Hanging the ramp was her project for Sunday, but get this: mom lost the hardwares!  D'oh!  And once she realized she couldn't find everything, she didn't want to go into town!  Mooooom!  ::Sigh:: 

Mom is celebrating Labor Day by working (for a bit at least - d'oh!) and we hope also by going to the hardware store for us (pulease!?!)  We'll be napping and playing and dreaming of this:
Happy Labor Day Monday!
