Success! Plus sheet metal explained!

Well the stork brought my darlings to New York safe and sound! They arrived quietly, I presume still a little stoned on whatever the vet gave them. Aunt J graciously acted as courier and brought us from the airport to my apartment.

Once safely home, I opened the cages.Penelope is a brave little thing. Before I could get another shot she was right on top of me, sniffing at the dance party (presumably) going on upstairs, at the weird lack of humidity, and of course at the camera.
....and then, in true Penelope fashion, she promptly adapted to her new surroundings.


Meanwhile, Lu was having reservations.
After about ten minutes, he decided to emerge to take a look around.
...and then proceeded to run under the couch, where he has been ever since. He's camouflaged under there, so sorry, no illustration.

Okay, so what was I doing with the sheet metal, anyway?

I have a dream. A dream of a litterbox that is catproof. No matter how much scratching and digging is done inside of this litterbox, the litter will stay contained. I do not like sweeping litter from the floor. Also, I neither own nor have storage space for a gigantic vaccuum cleaner.

So this...
became this:
Simple. A little brilliant, if I do say so myself.

There is one more step that has yet to be added; the perfect doormat. They were out of the good kind at PetCo though, so it will have to wait at least until tomorrow.
