She's obsessed with the ironing board!

My 18 year old little sweetie is completely obsessed with the ironing board. She can hear you putting it up a mile off and then comes running in to sit under it whilst you iron. Now this is all lovely and cute until ... heaven forbid! ...a piece of clothing touches her. Then she flicks her tail and yelps as if you are hurting her. Can't help but think it's linked to something in the past ( she struggled to be housed at first but has been with us for 17 years!) Thing is, I can't not use the ironing board! Any ideas?

Stop ironing. Seriously. When you take stuff out of the washing machine hang it up to dry on hangers. I haven't ironed for about 3 years Grin.

I think it's the actual act of ironing she is lured to.....if only she could do it

We used to have a cat who lived the ironing board. We just used to iron with him sitting on one end. The main problem was that he was white and out school uniforms were black!
