Black-tailed Prairie Dog (Cynomys ludovicianus)

Denmark’s a prison. A goodly one, in which there are many confines, wards and dungeons, Denmark being one o’ the worst.

Update on the MandyCats - Now with video!

Since it took over a year for the cats to get comfortable enough to come out from under the bed, I've given up all idea of just fostering them. They're going to live with me now. And, if they're going to live with me, they need their own stuff.

I recently picked up a Go Pro camera for a future project and thought, "What better way to test it than record the cats exploring their new tower?" I'm not very good at editing video yet, so please forgive the obvious amateur quality here.

More seriously, I want them to be happier and, for that to happen, they have to get out from under the bed more often. I had this tower custom-made with two hidey holes so I can start blocking off the under bed access without freaking them out. With luck, I'll be able to get them to leave the bedroom sometime within the next year.

And, with that, here they are.
