Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2006A Well-Run House
By the cats, that is, certainly not by me. I awoke this morning and found four (4) used drinking straws in bed with me. Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com Make Levees, Not War LOL! Reminds me of why I don't have house plants any more. I used to keep several nice ones along my kitchen counter. Not long after adopting my first cat here, I woke up one morning and felt something wet on the bed. It was a piece of one of the plants! I got up to see how bad the damage was, and there was a trail of plant pieces all the way down the stairs, across the living room, and to the kitchen counter! Not long after that I confined all house plants to the bathroom. A while after that I put some more in the kitchen (on the window sill this time), but they were all cactus. For some reason, the cats left those alone! Sandy > By the cats, that is, certainly not by me. I awoke this morning and > found four (4) used drinking straws in bed with me.

Ages ago, when Tennessee was a young, slim, sleek kitty, we had one. This one was completely covered with 1" spines. It was about the size of a football (American football), and I looked over and saw Tennessee trying to bite it. It went something like this: Open mouth, lean forward... ouch! Tilt head to a new angle, open mouth, lean forward.... ouch. Repeat. Repeat again. This went on for over 5 minutes, until he heard me giggling, looked over and saw me watching him, then did the typical "I wasn't doing that" cattitude sulk away. > Sandy > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >> >> Make Levees, Not War > Cacti are not necessarily cat-deterrents.

For some reason, the cats left those alone! Frank used to chew on a cactus I had. It had pretty short, but very hard spines. Maybe he was using them as toothpicks or something. ;o) SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. marina (dot) kurten (at) iki (dot) fi Stories and pics at http://koti.welho.com/mkurten/ Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki > Frank used to chew on a cactus I had.

Oh lord, I know that feeling! Nina adores drinking straws--they're her favorite toys. And now that I finally have a comfy chair to sit in for TV watching, the cats have also adoped it. It's really quite companionable to be sat up on by three cats while watching TV. Just don't have any illusions you'll be allowed to get up to take a bathroom break!

That's so obviously the correct place to dispose of them, isn't it? SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.
