Stuff and more cats

So, my daughter is trying to put the finishing touches on the house since we finished the remodel in January. One of her goals was a coat rack in the entryway. Thanks to Prime Days, we managed to get a pretty nice one for pretty cheap. She put it together and it looks great. The cats think so, too.

And yes, of course, it's VIOLET.
A year or so ago, Maddie found a bed she thought Sunny would like so we bought it. Cat's used it like three times. Haha. So, Maddie talked to her friend who has a cat and decides she's going to give the bed to her friend. The very next day:

I have NEVER seen Nayla use this bed. NEVER. Even Sunny is surprised (and yes, really, these were taken right after each other):

Our Meowbox arrived yesterday, too. It's always fun opening this thing becuase the themes have been amazing. Remember the bakery themed box? Complete with kitty apron? Well, this one was Meowrine (marine) Life! And dear god... my cats now have a catnip stuffed Speedo toy.


Taylor said that the jellyfish looks like something out of Spongebob and she's not wrong. Whoever curates these boxes deserves a raise. The toys are always so dang cute! And the cats just love them.

Lastly (I know, it's about time!), I found this little guy trying to cross the road in my housing complex as I was leaving this morning. Yes, I did stop in the middle of the road, get out, and move him into the grass, why do you ask?

I'm not sure where he came from because judging by the colors on his head and neck, he's not a tortoise, he's a turtle of some kind. There's a park with a pond a couple miles from the house and, if this dude managed to get from there to my neighborhood without getting squashed, I'm impressed. I texted a picture to Taylor and all she could say was 'what the heck?' and I can't disagree. I wasn't even sure I was seeing what I thought I was seeing! Hopefully someone takes good care of him when they find him.
Anyway, that's my news for the week. How all y'all been?

I wonder if the turtle escaped from someone's backyard.

My daughter saw on one of those neighborhood app things that someone in our area posted a picture of the turtle saying they found him in their driveway. So, hopefully he gets to go back home.
