I have been shown this thread as I was told my little Dexter looked like Riley
I must say I can see a resemblance lol its quite strange.

Dexter is

He just needs a bit of tippex to create a stripe on his nose to complete the look

We have another cat called Dexter on here too, although he's ginger, such a fab name

Awww, this thread is so lovely! I hope that Riley will soon be home to cuddle up to Lu and pinch the best sleeping places.

How on earth did I miss this thread!!!!!!!!!!!

It's against the law to miss out on Lucas and Riley pics

Helen I think you should buy human bunk beds and then there will be plenty of room for them both on the top bunk

You know what you're going to have to do now, don't you? Get another 2 so that they can both have top bunk!

I thought this might happen

This time it was Lu who decided he wanted a piece of the top bunk action and squashed down next to Riley

He had a call of nature and look who is keeping the bed warm for him

I can't be the only one wanting to do this for myself. My only problem is having to go to Ikea in the first place (which I hate and haven't been in years) and then fearing that Sky would break it as she isn't very.....erm.....petite

They look fab

Can't help with the Ikea phobia, only thing I can suggest is you plan your route and possibly cut out sections in doing so!

As for the not-so-petite Sky

I actually think she'll be fine as the beds are very sturdy. Riley weighs at least 6kg and his weight isn't a problem, neither is surface area

I'll await

of the finished article although probably best to use my tried and tested technique of building only one bed first to see if Robbie & Sky deem it a suitable resting place

The top bunk has proved to be very popular with Riley barely moving from it...

I threw Lu's favourite toy to encourage him onto the bottom bunk but he looked at me like I was a fool, Riley peered over before hopping down to swat the toy off the bed

Later in the evening the bottom bunk was occupied

but not the top

finally the MSCP is in full occupation

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #22 on:** February 15, 2013, 21:10:21 PM »

Yes exactly the brackets I was thinking of

I see Riley has bagged the top bunk with full radiator

Oh Helen, this is so sweet! I'm off to Ikea tomorrow to get a pair of these beds!

A pair? As you have more cats than me you should get three and do a triple bunk bed, or maybe even a quadruple

They're in the kids section in a flat packed box...

I went to a different B&M tonight and got a second self-heating mat for the lower bunk

RRP £3.99 - actual cost £31 odd due to the 'bargains' I picked up over the course of two different visits

Got the brackets from B&Q, so may I proudly present... the bunkbeds

Only Riley has used it so far but Lu was desperate to roadtest it WHILST I was putting it together! While I had the top one resting on the bottom one to mark out the holes he kept nudging the corners with his face doing cheek rubs

Then the screws were toys he needed to poke at and tap away, then he was trying to get his nose under the hammer while I was trying to make pilot holes

For such a sensitive boy who gives himself a fright when he sees a stray sock on the floor he doesn't even flinch with banging and drilling going on millimetres awat from him

When they're in bunk bed mode, it could also be referred to as a multi-storey cat park

And to quote the many Richard jokes....thats wrong on so many levels !!!!!

Actually thats because it reminds me of family caravan holidays where bruv had top bunk and I as the younger had bottom bunk. I do remember if I put my feet on the bottom of the top bunk and puched hard he fell out

The MSCP (multi-storey cat park) is not in use yet as I need to get some sort of bracket to secure it but both beds were in use simultaneously for the first time today

I did go to B&M after work to see if they had any more of the self-heating mats for the second bed but no such luck

Big Cat Lover & Maryas, don't get me wrong they are cute but I think it helps that I have the camera at the ready at every opportunity

Love the idea of bunk beds perhaps you could put curtains round the lower bunk so Lu can snooze in peace safely hidden from Riley

That is genius! I think he would love it too

Just need to pick a fabric and get somebody with more sewing skills than me involved!

Quote from: funkiechicken on February 12, 2013, 14:04:37 PM

I sooo want to see them made into bunk beds

Quote from: nickynoo93 on February 12, 2013, 18:05:22 PM

So cute, get that other bed made...

Your wish is my command

Without further ado... may I present - the bunkbeds!

There's the small matter of securing the beds together but I'm sure I can find some sort of metal bracket in B&Q that's just the job.

For now they are formulated as a superking bed, with that pesky crack that we've all experienced on holiday in hotel beds

Riley inspects

Lu inspects

Riley tests the new bed in superking mode

I seem to remember a similar situation involving a bed from the auction???

Yep, come to think of it it's any bed that Lu has decided to snuggle down in Riley clocks him and thinks 'ooh, that looks comfy I'll go and join him!'

Quote from: pappilon on February 11, 2013, 21:31:56 PM

You need to get one more and make it to a double

I do have another one that I haven't put together yet (bought two but only assembled one in case they ignored it so I could take the other one back!) - I'm thinking of making them into bunk beds

Especially the one with Riley on Lu's back.
