Of cats, hamsters, and topology

Who was it on my flist that posted the link to that house where the people have done all the wild decorating and have built the amazing cat walks all around the ceilings, with fancy cutouts to go through the wall and such? I've hunted back for a while but I can't find it.

Gerry and sandy_tyras have loaned us a Blake Hodgetts CD called Blindsight, filk including the song The Great Nebraska Sea. Karl has the book with the story that song is based on, and it was sung at ConDFW Friday night, I brought the lyrics home to him. (I can't believe Louisiana would survive that, really)

But back to the cat thing - I was actually reminded of that house by listening to the song A Habitrail Named Klein. Giggle!
