Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bast" data-source="post: 4874" data-attributes="member: 379">I went upstairs to grab some socks, and decided to check in on the T's.  Noticed that Noelle and Karina were both at their water dishes (which I don't see either of them do very often), so thought that was pretty cool.  Then I checked in on Chaos... Now I have her little deli inside of a larger tupperware container (the larger container has no lid and is weighted with some rocks around her deli), with a fairly heavy rock on top of her deli to weigh it down.  When I looked inside the smaller deli was completely upside down on top of the rock.  No idea what happened, maybe the cats went in for a peek, but I really don't know how they would manage to knock the smaller deli upside down without tipping the larger container over especially with the weight of the rock (the larger container hadn't even moved an inch).  It has been completely quiet in here all day, and I have heard nothing...odd.Anyhow, I managed to upright the deli without burying the little obt and got a big ol' threat pose in the process...poor little girl was none too happy about her world being turned upside down <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />   I am glad she's fine, but it really freaked me out that she was able to be tipped like that.  I have cleared a new spot for her on the bookshelf, inside of a heavy glass bowl that will not be able to move at all except by human hands (wedged at the top with some wood pieces as well).  Will make it a little more of a pain to feed her and such, but don't want a repeat of today's events...and it's only until I get her a permanent enclosure in the next couple of weeks anyhow. Now I am watching her re-make her web!  It's pretty cool watching how she does it, and she hasn't slowed down even a little bit since she started.  Love the web spinning booty dance lol.</blockquote>
