@ leylandvictory: That’s a major part of it. The snow is a pre-cut piece of quilt batting, so it’s almost made to attract cats! Then again, started laying here when I did the first layout, which used a model railroad grass sheet.
@Mr. No: Yeah, she’s a very attractive kitty and also very sweet natured, if a bit skittish. She has a close bond with my daughter but she’s loving towards everybody in the family.
@ Super: I think it’s both! It’s a comfy spot that the humans have been focusing attention on lately and it’s territorial. We have another female cat around the same age and there’s a running battle for almost every horizontal space in the house.
Some additional notes: I rebuilt the layout to a single track with Trackmaster 1 track. The double track Plarail design was shifting around too much, causing collisions and derailments. I decided to forgo most of the additional details like trees and working street lamps because they get damaged too easily due to the cats and the kids. For the same reasons, I’m not using the backdrops I bought last year.
This will probably be the last year for the Christmas layout in this form. The space is limiting and stuff is too prone to damage. I’m not sure what, if anything, I’ll do in years to come.
