Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2005My new suede shoes are *not* a scratching surface
Tom and I went had a coupon for 15% off at the Timberland shop at the Outlet Mall in San Marcos, TX (Texas' 3rd most popular tourist attraction). We needed hiking boots and also regular shoes, they make very comfortable walking shoes. I chose a pair of shoes in suede, very nice and very comfortable. Unfortunately, Fez and Rufous (and Mrs. Sammy Crews, if I might add) seem to think suede makes a very nice scratching surface. I can't hide my shoes! Maybe if I spray Feliway on them the cats will leave them alone...  SignatureVictor M.

Blue shoes? ;-) Nope, they're a very tasteful tan color. :) SignatureVictor M.

But I bought a pair of tan suede Columbia walking shoes for my Vegas trip and I was surprised how quickly they get dirty. I don't know if it was the polution, dust or heat but they look very abused after only a few days in the desert. It looks like I've had them a year. :( > Tom and I went had a coupon for 15% off at the Timberland shop at the > Outlet Mall in San Marcos, TX (Texas' 3rd most popular tourist [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > surface.

And here I thought it was your animal magnetism! ;> Hugs, CatNipped Dig in old 45's (probably in attic now)....grab scratched old record....while you're up there, dig out equally old turntable record player (I hear you, Gen-Z's: "WTF is a turntable? Whatsa record?") bring it and beloved Elvis disc downstairs.....sit Sammy down by your new purchase and turn volume way up. Place needle on disc. Stand by while he absorbs, "You can do anythin' but stay offa my blue suede shoes......" LOL. >> Tom and I went had a coupon for 15% off at the Timberland shop at the >> Outlet Mall in San Marcos, TX (Texas' 3rd most popular tourist [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > CatNipped Never mind Elvis, how's about the great Carl Perkins original?? I once heard CP interviewed about how he came to write it, & IIRC he said (accent not attempted): "We were playing at a dance and I heard this cat tell his chick not to tread of his new suede shoes, and I just couldn't get it out of my mind". So a great classic was born. (BTW I love the King too, but "Heartbreak Hotel" is his best ever for me....... Purrs Gordon & the TT, still rockin' tonight (& still got some original classic shellac 78's!) > Dig in old 45's (probably in attic now)....grab scratched old > record....while you're up there, dig out equally old > turntable record player (I hear you, Gen-Z's: "WTF is a turntable? > Whatsa record?") bring it and beloved Elvis disc downstairs..... ROFL I don't specially love the King....I just clean forgot about Carl Perkins! My fave Elvis is "It's Now or Never". I just lost control when I saw Victor lamenting over his little family's invading his new sued shoes (only thing missing was "blue"!) Victor is probably cursing by now....he doesn't think it's funny....say, aren't you a Brit? > Never mind Elvis, how's about the great Carl Perkins original?? > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >> turntable record player (I hear you, Gen-Z's: "WTF is a turntable?

My forebears, like music, knew no boundaries :-)) Purrs Gordon & the TT PS to PS "It's Only Make Believe" is a Conway Twitty original (didn't know Elvis had covered it) but my fave version is by Robert Gordon in the '70's. What a baritone! > ROFL I don't specially love the King....I just clean forgot about Carl > Perkins! My fave Elvis is "It's Now or Never".

I have a pair of those sandals that look like they're made out of old tires, and Fin used to LOVE to chew them. I had to keep them on a top shelf in the closet. Yes, when I had them on, he'd try to chew them while they were on my feet. So now I have a pair of black rubber sandals that I can't bear to get rid of - they have kitty teeth marks all over the straps. *sniff* Jane - owned and operated by Princess Rita > (BTW I love the King too, but "Heartbreak Hotel" is his best ever for > me....... [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Gordon & the TT, still rockin' tonight (& still got some original classic > shellac 78's!) There are several Elvis songs that I love (nope, not a big Elvis fan) but the ones that always get me are "Only Make Believe," "Civil War Trilogy," and "In The Ghetto." I guess I'm a morbid sort. Pam S. Soncek likes to use my shoes for scratching :( especially the ones I had just worn. Maybe someone has a solution for this problem.

They were ones my mom bought for me so I had an excuse to buy ones I liked...but still, the principle of the thing... --Fil Awww - they miss you :-) When we first got Otis and if I ever worked too much, Otis would destroy my shoes. I had heavy heavy thick leather Timberland walking shoes and Otis dragged them out of my bag at the door and chewed them to pieces.
