Catification continues

I had purchased a bunch of floating shelves with the intention of creating cat friendly climbing walls.  BUT, I had a real problem getting floating shelves on the wall. I just could not get the hang of the ones I had purchased.  Then I found the, rather expensive, but specialist screws for floating shelves and voila! suddenly I was on a winner.  I still wasn't convinced that they would withstand the weight of cats leaping about on them, but at least I could get those damn shelves out of storage.  

I put them up, planning for no cat access, assuming they would rip half the wall out and come tumbling down, with whatever ornaments were in them if a cat did leap on them.  But the cats knew better.  I did hold my breath as Noomi, the flying lead brick (she is a true Tonk and weighs twice as much as she appears to), gave them a test run. Much to my surprise, they were steady as a rock. 

When Lily, literally half Noomi's weight, gave them a trial I had no doubts they weren't going to hit the deck.
