...and let him pick up all the cat hair and dust bunnies as he caterpillars his way round the floor...?

Excellent idea!

Make him earn his keep.

Attach a mop head to each hand and foot and he can mop the kitchen floor too!!

FreeBirdsFlying · 13/08/2012 10:20

I've been fantasising about this for years.

MakesCakesWhenStressed · 13/08/2012 10:22

Good idea Elizabeth, then i can put all that drool to good purpose, too

You can get mop shoes for cats so use them. Can't link as on my phone.

YANBU - excellent idea.

BUT - (pedant alert) it's gaffer tape. Sorry Grin

yikes huge link but get this instead and someone please tell me how to fix my links so they are tidier

MrsTerryPratchett · 13/08/2012 11:07

You need square brackets around the whole thing. Do a space after the link within the brackets and put, in this case, something like "baby cloth" then close the square brackets. See the explanation below for MUCH better instructions.

MrsTerryPratchett · 13/08/2012 11:08

Oops double square brackets.

Salmotrutta · 13/08/2012 11:09

If you type the double brackets, paste in the URL, press space then add a word e.g. great duster (or something) then type double closing brackets that gives you a nice short link.

oo it worked ty

MrsTerryPratchett · 13/08/2012 11:20

Good for you bunny. I expect many interesting links!

Abzs · 13/08/2012 11:23

If you gaffer tape the baby, does the baby then crawl sideways away from the gaffer tape, like if you gaffer tape a cat?

Salmotrutta · 13/08/2012 11:29

You have gaffer taped a cat Abzs?

Hmm
Glitterknickaz · 13/08/2012 11:31

You should patent it.

Abzs · 13/08/2012 11:41

It was on Rude Tube.

Salmotrutta · 13/08/2012 11:53

That's horrible - very cruel Shock

MakesCakesWhenStressed · 13/08/2012 12:13

Salmotrutter - I actually knew that. blame sleep deprivation. It's my go to excuse for any stupidity these days.
