Welcome back to Dan’s photo challenge. He’s beginning a series inspired by a suggestion for inventions and gizmos. This week’s theme is Inventions. Dan’s notes add:

“Inventions – Things are invented and then modified and sometimes reinvented. Either works here. Inventions can also be fictional. They can be created by or for characters, for purposes someone can imagine.”

You can check out Dan’s weekly photos at the prompt post here.

Now let’s see what we can do with inventions.

The cat tree was a fabulous invention. Last year I spotted a giant llama version I’d imagine was designed for zoomy kittens who’d love to sprint up its neck. Please clap for the incredible restraint shown in not bringing an enormous llama home…

We get compliments from the vet techs every time we go in with this cat carrier. I love that it’s soft sided but the real win is that you can unzip the top and open it like a clam shell. Perfect for kitties who refuse to come out of their safe spot.

Mia was our only kitty who loved sitting with the modem. It cracked me up that she seemed to feel hidden back there.
