If you're a regular viewer of Cute with Chris, you know that I am perpetually bombarded by dozens of photos sent by a lonely retired spinster school teacher in BUFFALO who owns eight cats. Her name is Carm and she writes: "...Hi Chris... I think I have outdone myself with this one... I have been wanting to replace my old cat trees/cat condos with some new cat furniture. I really wanted something that would scream CCL. So here for your and the cult's approval is our new cat tree...well actually it's a sunflower. All 8 cats are in one picture which is also quite a feat. Moony & Sunny on the sunflower- upper left leaf- Pride, upper right leaf-Candy, lower right leaf Tommy, and base left to right- Joy, Furby, & Puffy."
!!!!AWESOME!!!!

A tree than bears cat fruit? Amazing!

I used to want a scratching post for myself when I was little. I wanted to sit inside them and act like a cat.
And now, today, I dress up as one.
I want THIS scratching post. The ones I find all SUCK. Where'd you get it?

Wow. Carm you are awesome! I think you've earned another guest edit with this sunflower cat whackness. It's hard to pick but I think Joy and Sunny are my favorites.

All hail to the Queen of CCL's! Those kitties are so lucky you're their mama to spoil them like that.

Congrats to Chris on his podcast- I was fortunate enough to be in the audience in Toronto and I loved Bye Bye Cake as well!
This is where I ordered the cat tree/flower.

It's amazing! He had a 20% off special a few weeks back. More pics of it on my blog...

*Applause* for getting all 8 cats in one picture.

Awesome! Or as Carm would likely say:
PAWsome!

Fantastic! How did you get the cats to stay? Tape? This picture is amazing.
Posted by: wendy | May 18, 2009 at 07:02 AM
Amazing!! But I have to ask, with all those long-haired cats -- do you have to replace your vacuum cleaner every month or so??
Posted by: Natty | May 18, 2009 at 07:28 AM
What do u mean - somebody stop this woman?
Don't u mean - ENCOURAGE this woman???? & all other CCLs???

Why do I suddenly have the urge to say
"Rapunzel, Rapunzel, come down from your tower"???

Wonderful to see all 8GR8 cats on their new sunflower tree. It's nice to see a cat
tree that doesn't look like a stack of carpeted boxes for a change! The kitteh kidz obviously love it. I want to come back in my next life as one of Carm's kittehs!
They've got it good!

Carm must spend a lot of time cleaning out the cat litter.
Posted by: DogsDontPurr | May 18, 2009 at 12:07 PM
yes, please guest again for chris!!!
Posted by: jennifer | May 18, 2009 at 12:35 PM
I can't even imagine how much it took her to get all the cats in one picture, even though one of the petals is empty
Posted by: Raluca | May 18, 2009 at 02:05 PM
I can't breathe...
Posted by: Rick | May 18, 2009 at 02:16 PM
That's so CCL!!!! You've really out done yourself!!1 Carm you're my hero!!! Your cats are all beautiful.
Posted by: Wezal | May 18, 2009 at 02:44 PM
getting ready for Chrismas?
Posted by: peanut287 | May 18, 2009 at 03:25 PM
Wow. They should have you test cat furniture. You'd know it's sturdy if it has the "Carm approved" label on it.
Posted by: Melissa H. | May 18, 2009 at 05:57 PM
Someday I'll have a job again and then maybe I'll be able to buy one of those kitteh sunflowers ... I'd like to see all *TEN* of mine on it at once! Way to go, Carm, for getting all 8 of 'em in the picture!
