Gah!
What is it with boys?
I bought a lovely new floor to ceiling scratcher for them in November (just before I got Misha actually) and they've broken it!!!
The brace at the top has snapped/bent/whatever so it won't brace against the ceiling anymore and wobbles like a jelly in a wind tunnel!
They'll have to put up with it for a while longer yet though, no money to repair or replace it as all the money has been spent on the catproofing materials for the garden...
The Story
Once upon a time little Misha decided Indy was too sad after Poppy went away... so he thought he would play a trick on Indy. He waited until Indy was fast asleep then pounced on his tail! Indy woke up with a jump and chased Misha down the hall, where Max the dog was asleep! Both young cats ran over Max and woke him up too!
So Max chased Indy, who chased Misha, who ran up the scratching post and made it wobble.
Indy ran up the scratching post too, which made it wobble a lot.
Max ran
into the scratching post and it made a horrible noise, and now it wobbles all the time.
And Mamma is a big meany who says they will have to make do with a horrible wobbly post for a long long time (2-3 weeks) until she can get a new one or repair this one.
the end
sorry couldn't resist the terrible story form, but made it sound better, lol. Have found out though that Misha could never be a ships cat, the way he clings to the wobbly post he looks like a sea-sick sailor in the crows nest
