Sunday Randomness #14 : Closet cat tunnel

Yes, we're the kind of people to cut a connecting tunnel between two closet walls to give our 16 1/2-year-old cat more room.  Jack  has not been too happy with a second dog joining the family, especially one that hovers around 75-80 pounds.  Consequently he's been spending most of his time in the main bedroom which has a small bathroom with his little box under the sink.  I thought of the tunnel, Mego did the construction work and the rebuild-lining the bottom, sides and top so that it is a tunnel between the rooms and not just a hole in the wall between two adjoining closets.   Jack went through on his own and Daisy said he started meowing like he couldn't believe what had just occurred.  How did he happen to find himself in her room?!?!  He has the connection down pat now and goes between the rooms to wherever he thinks he'll get treats or attention or a good napping spot on a bed.  We did check for wiring and studs on both sides before making any holes in the walls.  Safety first!  Glasses and face mask were employed in the demolition phases.  And Mego used simple tools-nothing too drastic.
