Take a look at the right side of the picture, the television stand. After my niece assembled the stand, Andy took the lower cabinet in the photo as his personal cat cave. He then stopped using it after a few days. I closed it when it seemed apparent Andy was over using it, and it remained closed until last Friday.

Clever Andy opened it by himself and began using it again!

Time for a nap.

On this day in 2020, Andy’s littermate Dougy died. We miss Dougy. He’s the kitty boy on the left side in the photo at the top of this blog.
I posted numerous videos of Andy and Dougy on You Tube on my phainopepla95 channel, starting with their kitten days through their first five years. A video editor I used was discontinued, and all the alternative editors I looked at were excessively expensive. That ended most of my video making.
That’s great that he is using it, again.
Just briefly, it seems….

Hugs, thoughts and prayers, Doug. I know how much you loved and miss Dougy cat, and he loved you, too.
Andy found himself a good hiding place there, and a good napping spot, too.
Dougy was a fun kitty, if a character. Yes, that’s a good spot for his naps. I might put a towel in there though he resists improvements.
Doug
Sending you hugs on this sad anniversary.
Thanks. I think about Dougy often.
Doug
That first photo of Andy looking out from his cubby is a real keeper !
I especially was pleased with it, too.
Doug
So lovely ! amitiés
Thanks!
Doug
Clever Mr Andy!
We all miss dear Dougy.
Thanks, Dolly.
Doug
You are very welcome, dear friend.
The top one is the bestest shot of Andy ever. Well taken, Doug! I understand with Dougie, mate.
Thanks. Gerry.

It belongs to him by eminent cat domain.
I didn’t even get notice before he took it over!
Doug
That’s how they do it. Arrogant brats, but we love them!
Andy is one smart cat! It’s been four years already since Dougy passed? So sad, Doug. I’ve been following you for a long time!
Yes, unbelievably so.
Doug
Pretty slick of Andy to be able to open that door when he wanted to use that space again.
Andy has a habit of opening cabinets and drawers!
Doug
😊
A personal cat cave! And doesn’t he look pleased with himself at having discovered it?
Andy claimed it within minutes of the television stand being assembled and put in place! I didn’t realize it at the time, but I think he must have opened the door then, too. Andy is handy that way!
Doug
Handy-Andy! Hehe!

Andy established himself as a cabinet and drawer opener years ago, yet I didn’t realize this particular door is within his capabilities to open since I think he had to use the handle.
Doug
Andy, you smart rascal, you! Awww, I know y’all both miss Dougy. I’ll check out your You Tube channel one day!
That was Leah.
Dougy was the ornery kitty but lots of fun being naughty.
