Great job @kas122461Okay I was not going to do this yet, but that is what a bit of alcohol, does to me.this is the first pic. (already posted this one) After the very first assembly.
Then this is today front view, shows the top, knobs, and the partitions in the drawers, to help me sort stuff.
Then this is just a side view showing the extra piece's I put along the sides, I'm not sure it really does anything, just looks better. The plastic bins, I pulled out of the trash from work, I figure I might as well try to use them. The 1/4" wood partitions that I put in were easy, I could always create more, and trash the plastic bins, if they don't work out.
I am not sure about the screw holes that are showing. That is where some of my mistakes happened, I kind of think I should just fill them. sense I am going to paint it anyway, I might as well cover them up. Or maybe just cover the mistakes only?
Okay that is enough.
Good night.

I'm going to disagree with Bronze. I think the screw holes should be filled and the cabinet painted.
So @ENAUD I have to ask two questions, since that's such a weird cat story.
First, did the cat miss the toilet seat ever and if so did you teach it how to clean it?
Second, given that the cat is either completely weird, or on its way to the next level of being, what other strangenesses does it exhibit?
Thanks, I really was seriously considering that, but Bronze made a good point. It is not going to be a fine piece of furniture, but I did fill the mistake holes and a few of the Knot holes. Normally I would stain something like this, but that is just too much for this one. I learned a lot with this, on making drawers. I have made them before, but not like the method I used for this one, and I made mistakes with them. If I ever do make another thing similar, it will be better than this one.

You can get specific nail clippers at pet stores, you need to be very careful and examine the nail for where the quick is, that is the pink line where the blood vessels and nerves are located. The clippers have a curved scissor like cutting surface. As long as you cut outboard of the quick, there is no discomfort felt, if you cut into the quick, the cat will be hurt...I have been blunting cats claws for about forty years now, and if I get one young enough before beginning, they don't mind the procedure too much. I try to get them used to me massaging their paws, and clip them when they are in a relaxed, seeking attention state. Some even enjoy the procedure, and a bonus is they don't get their claws stuck on carpeting or scratch posts when they scratch marking their territory. I have one female that actually will purr as I clip her claws because I wait until she comes to me for affection and massage her paws as I blunt her...
Actually, upon research, it is not unheard of. Some people actually actively train their cats to use toilets; you can do a quick youtube search and find many results.
At the time I was a teen, and we had my parents, five boys, two dogs, and three cat living in a house built in the 1700's...the bathroom had an open shelve storage cabinet across from the toilet that held the towels, facecloths and paper products. this particular cat used to like to nest in the towels there. At the time all of our cats were indoor/outdoor cats, and we did not have litter boxes in the house. Being as we lived in New Hampshire, and winters could be very harsh, perhaps this cat somehow realized that is was better to "straddle the hole one should never fall into", than brave the cold outside air that was our existence...one can never know what goes on inside the cranium of a feline overlord...one just accepts their knowledge and power...
I have always been a cat whisperer...my wife hates this aspect of my being...this same cat, when she bore her kittens, used my hand to push against with her back feet, to push her four babies out. I had a bond with her that will never be replicated, she was inseparable from me. She lived for about 22 years of age...
and no, she never made a mess on the seat.
So...today I was shopping and getting wet food for my cats at Petco, and I happened to wander by the adoption cage, there were some beautiful and active kittens in there...my heart melted...you see, I have an old girl that is not doing so well, arthritis in her hips, going a little dingy, she is old...
she spends a lot of time hiding and sleeping in out of the way places, and frankly, she misses the box more than she hits it due to the stiff painful hips. But, she purrs like a huge diesel engine on full throttle at the flick of a switch, but her time is nearing...I have a terrible chore to do, and I know it is the right thing to do. I don't feel like I have the strength to do it though, but my wife is convinced that it is time... but I still find it hard to make this decision... I know I will do what needs to be done, but this is such a painful place to be, so many conflicting thoughts going through my mind...

When I had cats, I always trimmed them. It isn't any different than on a dog. Some hate it and others will purr while you do it.
It is one of the most difficult things to do. My heart goes out to you. In time, the pain does subside and the beautiful memories remain vivid.
Sorry ENAUD, it is a painful place to be. I was there June 2019 but it was quite sudden. My heart goes out to you, your wife and your kitty

"Seven years ago today, SOMETHING significant happened but I can't recall what it was."
Congrats, E.!!! It NEVER gets old (thankfully).
