It's an aborted, accidental video... But it's really funny when looped, so I had to keep it.
The fur rug is one of 2 we got at a yard sale for each. One I keep below my feet (way more comfy than hardwood floor, quite noticeable even in shoes), and the other -- we just let Oranjello have it for "his" corner. Between that, the arched cardboard cat scratchers, and the octopus jerky that we let him toss around and try to eat, he loves that corner.

The Excavation of Mushroom Kingdom, by Johan Martinsson
A newly published archaeological document reveals one of the most astonishing discoveries of modern history – what we call “Mushroom Kingdom” has once existed. LEVEL has read “The Excavation of Mushroom Island”.
“In 1983, an up and coming biology student from the University of North Florida, by the name of Logan Zawacki, was awarded the Denise K. Weaver Grant with the intent of monitoring the short-tailed albatross population on the Japanese island of Izu-Torishima, also known as “Bird Island”. Little did he know this research project would lead to the biggest archaeological find of the 20th century.”
-from “The Excavation of Mushroom Island”, foreword
Izu-Torishima is a small island, about five square kilometers, located some 600 kilometers south of Tokyo, in the middle of the Philippine Sea. In reality, it is the top of an active underwater volcano, which has had two eruptions during the 20th century. The second time this occurred, in 1939, no one was harmed, fortunately. Sadly, this was because the entire population of the island had been wiped out in 1902, which was the time of the first eruption. Needless to say, it is extremely dangerous to venture into the crater of this volcano.
Still, this is exactly what Logan Zawacki does, shortly after arriving at the island. He descends into the volcano in order to study the brooding ground of the red albatross, but instead, he finds something completely different. He gets lost in the darkness of the narrow crater, and ends up in a winding subterranean tunnel, sloping downwards. He walks in the pitch black for a long, long time – and when he finally sees light again, he realizes that he has ended up in a completely different place. On a forgotten island, somewhere in the vicinity of Izu-Torishima.
On the island, Zawacki finds traces of an ancient culture, previously unfamiliar to him. Skeletal remains from animals unlike anything he has seen before. Sculptures telling stories he has never heard before.
Eventually he finds his way back through the tunnel, only to return later to the lost place – which he names “Mushroom Island” – with his science team. Over the course of nine years they study the islands, and they make some of the most surprising discoveries of modern archaeological history.

I love Eeyore and my mother got me this after I had the biospy...I'll have to take a picture (or video) of the one she got me when I went in for surgery....lol...it's very cute!
