RV Cats Rock-n-Roll In Old HiFi Cabinet

RVers Jim and Beverly Cowen love animals. They have two cocker spaniels “Bud” and “Angel” along with four cats. All these animals were rescued and given a loving home on wheels. The aptly named kitty “Cricket” jumps up on the counter with ease to check out this reporter eye to eye while the other cats George, Tater and Bitsey are a little camera shy. I visited with these good folks for a while today and found out they’ve been RVing together in every kind of RV for over 30 years. They’re from Seibert, Colorado and are enjoying the Arizona desert’s mild winter. (I’ve been running around in shorts and a tank top this week). Jim has been reading RV Now and RVtravel.com for a while and when he saw me in the campground he introduced himself as a reader and told me about his HiFi cat box. In his previous Prowler 5th wheel he installed a pet door so his cats could go to their litter box located in the 5er basement. When they moved into their Luxury by Design 5th wheel they didn’t have the same basement access as they had in their previous coach. Jim wanted a tidy and well contained place for the cats to take care of business and he found the solution in an old HiFi cabinet he picked up at a yard sale. He gutted the cabinet and put a cat door in one end with the litter box hidden inside. When it’s time to clean the litter box they just lift up the HiFi lid for access. It doesn’t play old records anymore, but it’s the cat’s meow for a litter box container. Putting catnip in your reading - Jim Twamley, Professor of RVing
