I've made a really bad judgement call this morning...

So... The kitten peed on the child's beanbag.
I couldn't get the smell out so I decided that emptying the inside sack (because they all have sacks right!?) and washing the cover in the machine was the way to go...

When I opened the beanbag, I was confronted with a torrent of loose beans..
So I proceed to fetch a bin bag, when I return (from 3 steps over in a cupboard), said kitten is INSIDE THE BLOODY BEANBAG!!

Still keeping my cool I thought... Yeah if I suck them up in the hoover extension I can just tip them into the bin bag...

Now my vac is broken, there's beans everywhere and I want to burn the house down so I don't get found out!

On the upside, the kitten is loving it Hmm

Oh OP I feel your pain.....we had a beanbag burst before Christmas, and they got stuck between the wooden floorboards. I still go round with a metal skewer poking them out. My DN2 often brings me one on the end of his little finger Blush.

I feel your pain, we had a bean bag burst. Still finding those little balls everywhere. Took me 5 hours to clean up and I also broke my hoover Sad

However on the upside, my kitten too loved playing in them Grin

Lulu I gasped out loud at your pic!!

Keep going OP, and well done for seeing the funny side Grin

Baddabingbaddaboom · 06/06/2019 12:18

Lulu... My gawd! I thought mine was bad!

I'm done now, 80 ish minutes of sweeping and cat corralling. My rug has never looked so clean Grin

Kitten thinks: 'Oh, a beanbag! That smells of my wee! I must explore it!! Such fun!'

Gorgeous kitten!

Lucky your kitten didn't end up like this!

Hell's teeth, Lulu - they's enough there to choke a whale!

I had this but it was my son's friend landing on the beanbag from a great height.
Dustpan and brush proved to be the most efficient in picking them up.
Be aware that there is NEVER an inner bag with a beanbag. When you replace it (which will be necessary) buy one with a PVC cover and cover with your existing cover.
When our old cat peed on our cloth bean bags I put them in the bath and turned the shower on them and put them out in the garden to dry in the middle of the rotary drier. Its a good idea to dowse the bean bag in a mix of water and white vinegar to stop the cat again.

So glad I clicked on this - KITTEN IS ADORABLE!

I made my dcs beanbags. You can buy a stretchy net material - think it's called stocking net - to use as an inner bean bag for easy washing.

ChocChocButtons · 06/06/2019 13:10

What a cute little kitten!! Nightmare about the beanbag.

TheTitOfTheIceberg · 06/06/2019 13:12

Lulu how big was the beanbag????

KittekatMP · 06/06/2019 13:15

That's brilliant. Mental note not to let the kitten near the beanbag Grin

SoupDragon · 06/06/2019 13:39

You could have held the Winter Olympics in lulu's beanbag disaster!!

Steriodskeepingmealive · 06/06/2019 13:56

She Is so cute I want one!!
A kitten not a beanbag

pigeonscooing · 06/06/2019 13:57

Hahahahahaha!!! This thread has made my day Grin

curiositycreature · 06/06/2019 14:18

Everything about this is amazing 😂

curiositycreature · 06/06/2019 14:18

(I guess not for you OP... sorry!)

HappyEverIftar · 06/06/2019 15:04

The look on RustyBear's cats face Grin not impressed.

Kittens/cats are the best!

Baddabingbaddaboom · 06/06/2019 21:06

Well, thanks everyone for keeping me sane today! Grin

I have never burst a bean bag. I don’t have any cute kitten pictures. Sad
But when my DS2 dragged the chair up to the kitchen surface and played with the sugar bowl there was sugar EVERYWHERE! I thought hoovering it up seemed like a good plan. My poor dyson was sticky inside the extension pipe and the dust catcher for years! Trying to wash it out made it worse.

makingmammaries · 07/06/2019 08:43

When you wash the beanbag cover, please check it for cats.

BooksAreMyOnlyFriends · 07/06/2019 08:56

We had a Hama beads disaster once. We were finding them for years.
