CUBBY LIVES A LIFE OF LUXURY
AND HAS TAUGHT THOUSANDS OF HUMANS TO CARE MORE ABOUT CATS
Cubby's live appearances at the Pike Place Market represent our cat sanctuary, where during the last 8 years we've placed over 200 unwanted or homeless cats with homes, over 50 cats with people who live or work in the Market area. We always keep our visits to the Market rather short so Cubby doesn't get bored. For more info on our work with cats and cat environments, click on "Gallery:Cat Whisperers" at the upper right corner of this page. Ever seen a cat who loves to ride the bus? Our highly socialized cat Cubby does! During our short bus ride to the Market, Cubby gets his own seat, needs no leash, and does the "happy dance" (kneading of the paws) all the way into town. He's brought smiles to uncountable bus passengers.

The Market has been happy with our work there over the years,and has kindly issued us a permit to be there.Cubby literally believes that he owns the corner of Stewart and Pike Place as territory and that we the Cat Whisperers are his servants.We're not at the Market to "do cat tricks," but to teach humans about cats and to give advice.
Cubby lives a life of extreme luxury that,unfortunately, few cats ever get to experience.He is the king of an elaborate environment we've built for cats of catwalks, ladders,staircases,and a trunkful of toys and treats.Our method for "socializing," or winning the extreme trust of cats is to love-bomb every cat with extreme amounts of toys,treats,and attention.We keep only a few cats at a time at our sanctuary to comply with city law.

Cubby descends a spiral-stepped catladder at the Artofcats art studio, beautifully constructed by Alexis Carbajal. The center is a metal rebar pole and all of the steps, platforms, and pieces fit like donuts over the metal pole, so all of the pieces are adjustable. Viewed: 758 times.
