 Say Thanks!
Cats spend a lot of time in the window, soaking up rays and watching the fascinating world beyond the glass. We decided that if they're gonna spend so much time in the window, then their owners shouldn't mind pampering them with our new attractive and comfortable Contented Kitty Bay Window.





[I had a big write-up here about my parents' cat dying, my first Sim pet, the news of the Pet theme, and how they all coalesced into this window, but.........
I stepped on the power cord to my laptop and lost it all, so we'll just get to the facts:]

Open for Business is required.
You may choose to match this window with items from the Second Empire build set (M&G), but it is not repositoried. To match any recolors, you will have to also recolor this window.
There are three usable slots. I recommend using them only for small items, so as not to clip into the cushion. Also please note that if you use the center slot for deco, cats will not jump up onto the cushion.
Recolorable subsets are surface (roof) and window (the wood part). Glass and cushion and detailing and birdy are not recolorable.

Known Issues:

I don't think cats can jump in diagonal windows, so this window does not work on diagonal walls. If I'm wrong, please correct me.

Not really an issue, but a pet peeve: Snow sticks on the inside surfaces, and that annoys me to no end. I've been working on this snow issue for almost 5 months, and still no better solution. Sigh.
