Mousetrap moment!

[JanieB]

Thought I'd share our Mousetrap (the game) moment!

We bought a new (second) scratching post for our lot a couple of weeks ago. It's about 3 feet tall, just a post, not that sturdy but gives them a good stretch. Except Moonlight likes to shimmy up it like a bear, balances on the top and surveys her land. She's getting a bit possessive about it too! Shadow's started to do the same, thank goodness Sunshine hasn't - he'd never do it!

Anyway, on to the incident! Saturday morning, breakfast time, food bowls all laid out in the lounge as normal. Me and my husband eating breakfast on the sofa. In comes Moonlight, launches herself at the pole, pole goes flying over, lands on a food bowl, bowl flys up into the air, showering wet food everywhere (and I mean everywhere!), bowl lands on Sunshine who gets spooked, runs across the coffee table and knocks over a pint of tea, which goes all over the table, it's content - everywhere really! Like I said - Mousetrap!

Moonlight spent the next half hour looking sheepish while my husband and I were on hands and knees picking up food, mopping up tea etc! Oh and I think Sunshine got tea on his belly fur so I gave him a bit of a wash to spruce up his fur anyway. What a fun Saturday breakfast time!
