There goes the TV

It’s a good job we love him.
Cat jumped onto the TV stand, before we could shout at him to stop or get to him he tried to grab the top of the TV and down it came. The screen bashed the corner of the stand and shattered, luckily it spiderwebbed so no loose shards of glass.
He wasn’t hurt, he was pissed off with me when I wouldn’t let him play with the cables as I changed over to the bedroom TV.

Grin we’ve only had a vase of flower I hid in the downstairs bathroom as a casualty today. Friend gave me them, DH and I would never consider bringing flowers into the house!

Ouch, I was going to get one of those kits for fixing TVs to the wall after fatcat jumped on top of it and it went spinning round.

Putting tinfoil round the area scared him so much he didn't do it again, he hates tinfoil so much he never jumps back on a surface even after it has been removed.

I’m getting these safety straps for the replacement. www.amazon.co.uk/CALISH-Anti-Tip-Furniture-Straps-Screws/dp/B06VVMGQ5P?tag=mumsnetforu03-21
He’s also started jumping onto the worktops today, I caught him sitting on top of the microwave earlier. He really doesn’t like me at the moment.

Our female tipped the fruitbowl off the table and it broke ( the cat was 100% unscathed and not even bovvered ). Fruitbowl was a huge flat one just fitted in the dishwasher (to give an idea of size) and I'd had it pre-DC .

Now using an Ikea glass bowl (not the same )

Male cat likes to launch himself about when there's a fly he's after , I fear for the TV life but it's on a stand

My cat has a dislike of certain ornaments and will make a point of deliberately flicking them on the floor. She has trashed several sets of blinds, vases, my Christmas tree along with glass baubles and currently has her eye on a big wall mirror, which I am securing to prevent accidents. I do love her though!
