The experience we had this morning is just a small warning/reminder to those of you who may have toys on string attached to your scratching posts.
Woke up this morning, made myself a brew and began to check my emails. Eva and Bernie were chasing eachother around. Then out of the blue there was a blood curdling scream. I ran to the living room, curtains still drawn so it was still quite dark in there. I could make out Bernie lying by the side of the sofa, he was screaming and growling. I ran to put the light on, shouted on Graham, scooped Eva up as she was still attacking him as he lay. Graham ran through and cut him free. He had managed to get his leg tangled in the dangly toy. I'd hate to think of the out come if both of us had been out at work.
I only have one fishing pole toy on string, which I always put in the cupboard when not in use coz I remember when Eva was a kitten and a similar thing happened but I never gave much thought the the dangly toys on the scratching posts.
Bernie is fine, but what a fright we all had.
