Tripodification -- Independence for a Tripod Kitten

Tripodification -- Independence for a Tripod Kitten
May-May loves the window, but she had a hard time getting up and coming down. I added some temporary steps, but they weren’t stable or safe. I drew up a rough idea and presented it to my husband, who loves working with wood. The next day, he put together a very solid ramp for Maple. I looked for material to put on the surface to prevent sliding but nobody had any scrap carpet to spare. (Thank you for all your suggestions!) I finally found something on Amazon, and it worked out perfectly...except for that 1mm excess! Maple was nervous at first, but once she realized she could do it, she became so confident in using it. #Tripodification

I had so many tears watching this I had to watch 3 times. What special people you and your husband are. Makes me happy that your husband is as wonderful as you are.❤

[@mrspbsracer]

❤ me too!

[@desi_vintage]

Oh my goodness, I have happy tears streaming down my face! She's amazing! Your husband is so handy, he's helped with a few projects, and we thank him so much! It takes a village! 😻😻😻😻😻🐶🐶🥰🥰

[@monsterglo]

I did too 😺🤗

[@nelibatalier6920]

May May has a team of builders and supporters ❤, so confident now😊.

[@C.E.Thomas1952]

An absolutely fantastic story. It was so heartwarming to see Maple get more and more confident until at the end she was almost flying up and down the ramp. Good to see. Thank you to you and your DIY husband and Amazon. 😀

[@lisastenzel5713]

I was confused. Amazon? Then I watched the end. 😅 But. I'm still confused as to why they wouldn't find those at any hardware store. Here you get them everywhere...Germany. The first home we stayed in for longer...we had those 'carpet tiles' all over. The old wooden floor was very steady, but ugly. We glued those right over. It's nasty to fall on them. Gets you skin open immediately. And I remember a straight smell from the glue. Good thing the kittens doesn't weight much.😊

[@marysalazar2870]

Wonderful ramp for Maple. Your husband did a great job. Brave Maple figuring this out.

Kitty accessibility! You can tell how much she likes her mobility once she figured it out ❤❤❤

[@KajariShankar]

My morning calm❤ The kits are so blessed to have your family love and care for them. Maple is so precious❤❤

[@joydurham7685]

What a great idea. She's now able to get up/down when she wants. Kudos to you both for looking at options for furry babies with disabilities. 😇😇😇

[@connymueller4230]

Brave little one❤Your husband is a brillant craftsman! Chapeau 👍

[@MirandaPatterson-w5h]

Thank you very much Mr Bordernerd. A round of applause for you.👏👏👏

[@debbiemorgan4537]

I am not crying. Not sure what it is about that precious little girl but she has touched me like no other kitten. Thank you to you and your husband for all that you do for these beautiful kittens. Just wish I lived closer so I could throw my hat into the kitten adoption ring for little May-May.

[@prawncrisp5951]

Completely agree. I’m interested in all of the Bordernerd household and love to see all the clips of its furry (and, occasionally, scaly) members. Like you though, I find Maple especially fascinating to me! I love that she’s faring so well, & often find myself speculating about her future development and where she’ll be living. I too wish you could throw your hat in the ring - and hope she finds a home with someone who loves her just as deeply ☺️

[@hollyg5279]

Wow, fancy! Your husband is a talented craftsman, and that is one lucky kitty.❤

[@emilyx8377]

Your husband is incredible! You make a great team.

[@charlenerobertson-zb4dn]

Yeah! For such ventures that come from the heart, it's crucial to have support from the spouse and kids❤
