Two of the main forms of imagery are Calavera, sugar skulls, and Cempasúchitl, Marigolds.

Due to the long and skinny nature of these hangings, they are excellent for that narrow wall you don’t know what to do with, above light switches, or even hang it off your door handle (if you don’t have cats).

It has been on my to-do list to fix the cat tree as there is less and less space for Floyd to scratch since so much rope has been ripped away. I was disappointed with how the rope held up since I had only had the tree a year. I decided to go with sisal rope as most cat scratchers are made of sisal material or rope.
