Residing all the best way down below in New Zealand has many perks, however one of many struggles is the provision of transport merchandise from world wide. Typically, it’s not even attainable, and different instances, when it’s, it prices an absolute fortune.
COVID added a bunch of recent hoops to leap by way of with the postal business in New Zealand, too. For instance, we had Christmas presents despatched to us in November 2021 and we acquired them in July 2022. We by no means needed to danger it by ordering issues from abroad till we knew issues have been again on monitor, and eventually, in mid-2024, I really feel like now we have joined the remainder of the globe once more!

Child Cat’s Nest Mattress Has Lastly Arrived!
It’s at all times a bit nerve-wracking getting a brand new mattress in your pets since you by no means know if they will like them as a lot as you do, or in the event that they even look after it in any respect. There are many movies on-line of cat-bed-filled lounges and bedrooms and the cat sleeping on the ground or below a desk, ignoring all of the comfy areas. So, I’d be mendacity if I mentioned I wasn’t nervous that I used to be going to be too excited concerning the Nest and Child Cat would stroll the opposite manner.
I filmed a fast unboxing video and Mac was tremendous jealous that the mattress wasn’t for him, and the fantastic thing about the best way the nest is formed, is that he couldn’t steal it from Child Cat!
Introducing Child Cat to His Nest Mattress
I did need to put Child contained in the Nest as a result of he simply walked proper previous it, as I anticipated. However he didn’t instantly leap out! Success!
Then, I left the mattress on his spot on the sofa and simply left him alone, and… he acquired in by himself! He didn’t go to sleep in it instantly, both, however I didn’t wish to power issues, he was exhibiting curiosity but when I confirmed an excessive amount of of 1 it may go the opposite manner…
I got here again just a few moments later and he was laying down beside his Nest mattress, which felt like a half-win, as a result of he clearly didn’t dislike it a lot that he needed to be away from it, even when he wasn’t head over heels in love with it simply but. Take into account, that is all inside the first hour that this new merchandise was in our dwelling.
Toddlers Love the Hepper Nest Mattress!
Now, we don’t promote this as a result of it’s not the meant goal of the Nest mattress, however I might be remiss if I didn’t share how a lot our toddler loves it. A little bit after I left Child Cat alone by the Nest, I heard some laughing.
After I went to test it out, I discovered my daughter sitting contained in the Nest (Child Cat awakened and politely eliminated himself from the thrill). She mentioned, “Look, Mother, I’m in my playground!”
She was rolling it back and forth and making an attempt to steadiness herself but additionally flip herself over on the similar time. It was onerous for me to cease her as a result of she was having the most effective time, however I additionally didn’t need her to interrupt the mattress after we’d waited for years, inside the first couple hours after it was unboxed.
Fortunately, it is extremely sturdy! As a result of, if any of you studying have toddlers, you understand that creating restrictions solely makes issues extra fascinating. I’m fortunate that my toddler does hear fairly properly once we clarify issues absolutely to her, so we instructed her that this was Child Cat’s particular mattress and first, she mentioned “No, it’s my playground!” however fairly rapidly after, she agreed it could possibly be each.
I’m not recommending you purchase one in your toddler, nor do I advocate for utilizing this as a playground. It’s constructed for cats! However, there’s some form of magnetism inside it that simply makes little critters wish to sit inside it, I imply, if I had an adult-size nest you most likely would discover me in there no less than 8 hours/day!
