Offenbark and the Flying Dutchman (operatic birdie toy) were obviously tempting to her kitty sensibilities.

Elsewhere she's left the Meowzart undamaged despite the Wolfgang (sorry Grin)

Keeping one's furniture pristine is irredeemably common.

See, I do owe DM something. Quite a lot of housework is deemed hopelessly common, now I think about it. The most unspeakably below the salt things ever are feelings (all) , relationships (successful) and employment (regular), but dusters and pinnies come close to knocking that shameful parade off the top spot.

Niiice.

Double-sided sticky tape is the answer.

Morticia is very thorough and diligent in her work. I’d let her continue, you may as well now. Getting new chairs would be like giving a huge piece of marble to Michaelangelo.

@Supersimkin2 “Feelings, all” quite right too. Feelings are for dogs and horses according to Tatler.

@YesItsMeIDontCare

Double-sided sticky tape is the answer.
To stick her to the wall do you mean? 😂😂
YesItsMeIDontCare · 15/01/2021 15:13

But if DSST in whatever they're scratching should put them off.

Duct Tape is better for sticking them to the wall, but is also an effective option. 😁

YesItsMeIDontCare · 15/01/2021 15:14

*Bit of

🙄 Honestly, I really should proof read.

Fluffycloudland77 · 15/01/2021 15:21

I don’t think we’re allowed to stop them doing what they like 🤨

YesItsMeIDontCare · 15/01/2021 15:25

I had to stop Leroy scratching the mirror. It was like nails down a chalkboard 😱

We even use the phrase "like Leroy on a mirror" now 😂.

Hi Swampy

Bet used to do that we have nearly the same chairs
Mine were ruined, so got some elasticated mole skin type
Covers from Amazon, worked a treat, no interest what so ever now
Been a couple of years

Supersimkin2 · 15/01/2021 17:58

Capn sharpens his claws on the sofa, he loves it. He's gobsmacked I don't mind, keeps looking up to check. Heated throw prior to temp tonight, he won't be seen for weeks.

Hey everyone. My girl has taken to sitting and staring at me when I'm WFH. Here she is...

She is just beautiful.

bwfcchick88 · 15/01/2021 18:41

@Supersimkin2

She is just beautiful.
Thank you!! I love her to pieces.
swampytiggaa · 15/01/2021 18:48

@bwfcchick88 she is absolutely gorgeous 💕

Fluffycloudland77 · 15/01/2021 19:10

She’s very pretty.

bwfcchick88 · 16/01/2021 10:31

Thank you 🥰

I've been attempting to organise photos, and have come across of some of DCat (who died in 2015 at the age of 21). She appears to have imprisoned herself...

Wednesday likes to sit on the radiator but then she gets a bit overheated and hangs bits of herself off to cool down

Supersimkin2 · 18/01/2021 17:13

Ollie's channelling Matt, king of Radiator Leg Bliss. Who doesn't use their leg or tail as a weathervane or cooling mechanism? Me and Cap'n both do.

@TheSilveryPussycat - been admiring Dcat for days and realised I forgot to say how lovely she is. Did she ever get out? :)

coastergirl · 18/01/2021 17:56

Bertie was a radiator cat. I miss him.

Fluffycloudland77 · 18/01/2021 18:00

Coaster ❤️

You put a lot of effort into Bertie.

swampytiggaa · 19/01/2021 11:00

Mine are loving their radiator bed. I’m just hoping they don’t pull it off the wall 😭😭
