Nega in her fort cabana

Hiding out

Negra loves to cover herself in blankets, so as we were wrapping up cleaning today, in thinking of her I was inspired to build more forts in the playroom. We have several bullet-proof glass windows in the playroom but for ventilation purposes, we have left the caging over a few of them. Negra often builds her daytime nest in front of one of the window cages, so I decided to tie blankets up to the caging and let them drape off of the railing, making it a cabana-style fort. I think Negra was pretty pleased.

Though this isn’t a great shot, I love that it shows Negra peaking around the blanket to see what is going on outside of her fort

Burrito liked it a lot too. Here he is enjoying his peanuts in his fort

    Reminds me of childhood days. Such a great idea for them—especially Negra and Burrito—love the expressions. Thanks, Jackie!

    You can never go wrong with a fort. My brother and I used to make them all the time with sheets and blankets. He’s gone now but I have those fun memories. Glad Negra and Mr B enjoyed their fort. 🙂
