I think we're going to have to put DH to work crafting a cat platform! By the way, the stool at the left covered with the yellow placemat is there to assist Louie in jumping to the counter to escape from Ricky and also to get to his food which is in the sink. Reason for that is Louie shattered his elbow jumping for that counter when he was a kitten and trying to escape from our predatory pooch.
