Hello, I’m Nicole! Learn my introduction to be taught extra about me and my distinguished Burmese, Mr. Child Cat.
Dwelling all the best way down underneath in New Zealand has many perks, however one of many struggles is the supply of transport merchandise from world wide. Generally, it’s not even attainable, and different occasions, when it’s, it prices an absolute fortune.
COVID added a bunch of latest hoops to leap by means of with the postal business in New Zealand, too. For instance, we had Christmas presents despatched to us in November 2021 and we obtained them in July 2022. We by no means wished to threat it by ordering issues from abroad till we knew issues had been again on monitor, and at last, in mid-2024, I really feel like we’ve joined the remainder of the globe once more!
So, after ready for a couple of years…
Child Cat’s Nest Mattress Has Lastly Arrived!
It’s at all times a bit nerve-wracking getting a brand new mattress to your pets since you by no means know if they will like them as a lot as you do, or in the event that they even take care of it in any respect. There are many movies on-line of cat-bed-filled lounges and bedrooms and the cat sleeping on the ground or underneath a desk, ignoring all of the snug areas. So, I’d be mendacity if I stated I wasn’t nervous that I used to be going to be too excited concerning the Nest and Child Cat would stroll the opposite approach.
I filmed a fast unboxing video and Mac was tremendous jealous that the mattress wasn’t for him, and the great thing about the best way the nest is formed, is that he couldn’t steal it from Child Cat!
Introducing Child Cat to His Nest Mattress
I did need to put Child contained in the Nest as a result of he simply walked proper previous it, as I anticipated. However he didn’t instantly bounce out! Success!
Then, I left the mattress on his spot on the sofa and simply left him alone, and… he received in by himself! He didn’t go to sleep in it instantly, both, however I didn’t need to power issues, he was displaying curiosity but when I confirmed an excessive amount of of 1 it may go the opposite approach…
I got here again a couple of moments later and he was laying down beside his Nest mattress, which felt like a half-win, as a result of he clearly didn’t dislike it a lot that he wished to be away from it, even when he wasn’t head over heels in love with it simply but. Bear in mind, that is all inside the first hour that this new merchandise was in our dwelling.
Toddlers Love the Hepper Nest Mattress!
Now, we don’t promote this as a result of it’s not the meant function of the Nest mattress, however I might be remiss if I didn’t share how a lot our toddler loves it. Just a little after I left Child Cat alone by the Nest, I heard some guffawing.
After I went to test it out, I discovered my daughter sitting contained in the Nest (Child Cat wakened and politely eliminated himself from the joy). She stated, “Look, Mother, I’m in my playground!”
She was rolling it back and forth and making an attempt to stability herself but in addition flip herself over on the identical time. It was laborious for me to cease her as a result of she was having the perfect time, however I additionally didn’t need her to interrupt the mattress after we’d waited for years, inside the first couple hours after it was unboxed.
Fortunately, it is rather sturdy! As a result of, if any of you studying have toddlers, you recognize that creating restrictions solely makes issues extra fascinating. I’m fortunate that my toddler does pay attention fairly nicely once we clarify issues totally to her, so we advised her that this was Child Cat’s particular mattress and first, she stated “No, it’s my playground!” however fairly rapidly after, she agreed it could possibly be each.
I’m not recommending you purchase one to your toddler, nor do I advocate for utilizing this as a playground. It’s constructed for cats! However, there’s some kind of magnetism inside it that simply makes little critters need to sit inside it, I imply, if I had an adult-size nest you most likely would discover me in there not less than 8 hours/day!
Did Child Cat Fall in Love With His Nest?
As you possibly can see, it was positively interest-at-first-sight between Child Cat and the Nest mattress, however did it type into full love? I made a decision I might doc the entire courting course of, so that you’ll have to search out out the place we’re at subsequent week…
