We got a neat new rug from Crate & Barrel, one of our favorite places to get furniture. Since we have all wood floors, I think it will help to have lots of padding in the main living room for the baby to crawl around on.

What’s funny is that apparently the new rug is giving off some kind of fume that only the cats can smell – I’ve kept the doors and windows open during the day and even the first night to keep the fumes away from us (and the baby in the tummy). However, I guess that the cats being so low to the ground can still smell some fumes because they act like LUNATICS around it.

Here is Samantha. They rub on it like catnip! And Gabby gets the crazy eyes and attacks everyone when she is on it!
