Cats & Ironing Boards do NOT Mix ;)

Magic Mood Jeep? - 28 Feb 2005 20:39 GMT
OK, I have a finished cross stitch that I am getting ready to frame.  I have
pressed it and mounted it.  I left the ironing board out while the iron
cooled.

Left the room to get my cutting board for the mat.

Sit down to check email while in the 'office'.

Hear a loud crash-bang-rattle, followed by a kitty stampede.  I run toward
the kitchen (old house has huge kitchen, it's where I keep the ironing
stuff), and pass *3* terrified cats (actually, ten-month-old kittens),
heading in the opposite direction, with not only their tails fluffed, but it
looks like their entire *bodies* have been fluffed!

Ironing board is on it's side.  Iron is on the floor, as is the dish towel
(or tea towel for you UK-ers), I used to protect the cross stitch from the
iron.

There are claw marks and two holes in the ironing board cover.  Good thing I
bought a replacement cover for the ironing board a few months ago, but never
replaced the old one ;)

One of the culprits is now pretending to be an innocent fur-covered
paperweight on my desktop, only way you can tell is the soft
purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and the movement of her sides as she breaths.

<sigh>

And so ends *my* excitement for the day...

Oh no! poor kitties and poor you!

I'm babysitting today for my neighbor's 4 year old, plus my two (it is
school vacation week here in NH).

I've had lots of odd crashes!

LMHO! My boys are also 10 months old. So I take it that it's
age-appropriate for them to be combatting ironing boards at this age?
Because a few weeks ago, somekitty (cough*CAPTAIN*cough) knocked over our
FOLDED ironing board, then came running and MRRRRRPing for me when I
headed to the basement to see what that crashing noise was.

Then he got all brave and started attacking the ironing board once I
picked it up.

Yes.  That was about the age Stinky was when he did his aerialist act
on the top of the door.  It was a scene worthy of a Tex Avery
cartoon--  his left feet planted on top of the door frame, right feet
on top of the door itself, and S-T-R-E-E-E-T-C-H-I-N-G away from each
other as the door swing away from the frame.  ;)  Poor little lunatic.

Very true. Yesterday morning I had planned to sleep in because I had
to work Sat morning, and I *need* one day. Fed Shamrock on the
counter as usual so the kittens leave his food alone (this doesn't
work anymore since they are both all over the counters now) and
Shamrock in one of his less graceful moments missed the counter and
flailed at anything he could reach and his paws found the bowl. Not
smart. Hehehe. The bowl flung to the floor and shattered in a
bajillion pieces (Corell; aren't they supposed to be indestructable?)
and the next 1/2 hour or so was spent first trying to round up nosy
kittens and put them in my room while I cleaned up, and then sweeping
the floor and vaccuming the area about 5 times.

I'm finding that elderly Corelle (mine is over 20 years old) and our
newest family member don't mix; T.K. broke a saucer and a cereal bowl in
one week.  Do they still make the Spring Green pattern???

My ironing board hangs from the bedroom closet door.  I just flip it down
and it hangs there off the floor ready to be used.  Since Persia isn't a
"jumper" she doesn't even notice it.  I recommend this type of board for
anyone with limited storage space.

My apartment includes one that folds into a little niche in the wall

>What is this "ironing board" of which you speak? ;-)

When 'ironing' or 'pressing' clothes to remove wrinkles, most of the
US American folk use an ironing board in conjunction with the 'iron'
or perhaps 'flatiron', though that is an archaic term here.

The ironing board is a funny-shaped table on rickety legs.  It's
height is usually adjustable and is about five feet long and perhaps a
foot wide at its widest.  One end tapers to rounded point about half a
foot wide. The clothes are placed on the ironing board and ironed.

The legs cross in a large X pattern so, for example, a trouser leg can
be pulled up over the narrow end and the iron applied to just one
layer of material instead of having to press the fabric in two layers
as one would with table legs that went straight down from the corners.

You may have the same thing and call it something different. There are
some that come in a cabinet and, when the cabinet door is opened, a
half-normal length ironing board folds down.  They are notorious for
being safety hazards when babies or kittens are around, as a small
child can grab the electric iron's cord and pull the whole rig over on
himself.  A cat jumping up on it with a running leap is quite capable
of knocking it over as well.

I wish I just had a picture to show you.  In the time I wrote this, I
could probably looked up the URL of half a dozen pictures.

Yowie has a "thing" about liberation from ironing.  Hehehee. :)
Marie Lawrence - 01 Mar 2005 09:37 GMT
The best use for an ironing board is to use it outside as a potting
bench.The top is usually mesh,  so excess potting mix falls through,  and as
the thing is adjustable,  it can be set at a comfortable height.  Just the
thing for gardeners !

Oh dear, sorry OJ. I was just being cheeky - I know what an Iron Board is,
and Indeed, even know what an iron is, but never use either so was just
pretending to be ignorant (hence the smiley).

Of allthe chores inthe world, ironing seems to be the most nonsensical and
such a great timewaster. Eventually, I realised that most, if not all peices
of clothing can be either found in a non-wrinkle version, or if taken out of
the drier or off the line and folded straight away, doesn't need ironing
anyway.

Probably part of the reason of my utter dislike of the chore is that my
&%^&@#$!!! of an ex bought thick linen shirts and linen trousers all the
time and *insisted* that they were ironed and starched to perfection before
they were put away in the wardrobe, and then *insisted* that they needed to
be ironed again when they came back out. He also demanded that and all
washing and ironing had to be completed over the weekend no matter what else
I wanted or had to do or even what the weather was like, despite the fact I
didn't have a drier and we shared the laundry and washing lines with 9 other
apartments. On one occasion, he magnamously allowed me to go to bed at 2am
after a whole weekend occupied with housework and laundry, without having
completed the mammoth task, although I discovered that he'd me in sick on
the monday morning so I could complete *his* ironing to *his* satisfaction.
I also have a scar on my right thigh when I was deleriously sick and was
ironing (again, at his insistance), blacked out for a few seconds, and
dropped the iron into my lap.

And thus, I will never iron again for anyone.

After having read this story, I have two things to say.

1) I'm VERY glad he's an EX.
2) You'd have been within your rights, had you inserted that iron into
either the start point or the end point of his digestive tract. But take
heart... if he continues behaving the way he did in the past, someone may
bestow that treatment on him yet. (He's gotta sleep SOMEtime. <eg>) Shame
on him.

Sounds like me and handwashing.  I don't do it.  If the clothing can't survive
the washing machine, I figure it can't survive me, anyway.

And you tolerated this bozo for more than one laundry session.  You are
much more forbearing than I am.  I enjoy ironing, but on my time and
terms.  I like to think I'd be getting out of prison right about now for
whacking that Gommer up side the head with one of his overly starched
pairs of pants.

It's a cat-attracting device which felines appear to regard as a
plaything, a bed (see: Misty, RB), a punching bag (see: Captain) and/or a
high-diving platform. Unfortunately, it's not normally stable enough to
maintain balance when a cat makes an especially vigorous leap up or down.
This can result in a resounding crash of the ironing board, and possibly
the garment and iron upon it, as everything falls to the floor.

We humans keep hoping that at least ONE kitty who's precipitated, or
witnessed, this sort of mishap will send a communique to the Mothership,
stating that ironing boards are best left alone by felines of all sizes
and ages. But unfortunately, they never seem to get the word out, meaning
that most cats must learn this lesson independently.

Therefore, we feline-owned humans are destined to experience the
occasional crash of unattended ironing boards to the floor. It's our lot
in life, and we must resign ourselves to it.

I saw an ironing board and an iron once in a museum.  Interesting.
Cleaned out my kitchen closet last week, figured it has been at least 10
years since I had the need of that iron and ironing board.

Consider yourself lucky.  Weebs, when little, was fascinated with the
kitchen towels.  Pulled them down no matter where I had them - and I'd find
them in different rooms of the house.

He was also amused by my bras (typical male).  If I left one laying on the
floor (usually where it would be after removing it for the day, until placed
in the hamper the next morning), he would drag it off.  Getting up in the
morning, I would pick up the clothes on the floor, but the bra would be
missing.  Until I found three under the bed.  Weeble had a stash of them
there.  I guess he was sleeping with them, when he wasn't sleeping with us.
Musta been because of the smell.

Fortunately, his fascination with them (both the towels and the bras) has
waned.  He is now obsessed with *his* purple puffball.

IBKFergus, being a girlcat, has no interest in my bras, but Shmogg, even
though he's into his geriatric years, will still go nuts over one I"ve worn
for several days, rubbing, and rolling andpurring and drooling all over it
till its absolutely covered with cat fur and dander.

And this is how I was trained to put my bras into the laundry hamper. I'm
allergic to cats, and there's nothing worse than having two very sensitive
and prominant areas encased in allergens for the whole day, *especailly* a
work day!.

By the way, I recently came across a reference to an obscure 6th century
Irish saint/holy woman - Saint Fearga.  I haven't been able to find
anything on what she did, but thought of your dilemma re: IBKFergus' name.
