Thread: Unsightly cardboard box trick !!

It very was lucky you were there! We also had various cardboard 'decorations' spread around the house for the first month or so!! But it was our old boy Tigs who managed somehow to get behind the fire (something he'd never done before!) meaning that some of it had to be knocked out! If it hadn't of been for Marco, Finn & Tess telling me that he was in there heaven knows what would have happened ...

Re fireguard - I remember (in the olden days!!) that we had a heavy duty fireguard that folded into 3 when not in use ... but it also had a detachable 'roof' which you could either lean against the fireplace or attach to the ends ... maybe you could find something like that at a car boot fair? Have you tried google yet?

Good Luck ... bet that Frazer finds another little hidey hole that Mum forgot about x

Have a google round, maybe amazon might have one. And very lucky you were there lol!! Just a word of warning but I know some cats love tearing cardboard boxes to bits, the 2 cats I am fostering at the moment are destroying the 2 i have out for them!!! Not sure if MC's go for this though but just so u know lol.

OMGosh I bet you almost had a stroke, I know I would have! I am glad you were able to save the little monster =^..^= ahh the fun you will have ;)

We not only had the lovely cardboard barriers throughout the house but also foil covering the top of the backs and seats of the dining room chairs. They liked to climb them. I knew I should have covered them but I didn't do it until after a chair went over during a rowdy game of chase. I don't know how two 15 week old kittens managed enough speed to tip the chair over - they are quite heavy. The back of the very expensive and out of production chair snapped leaving seating for 7!!! Thankfully Buzz and Baxter were OK! They actually seemed pleased with themselves. Happily, a furniture repair man was able to put the chair back together. Oh Chris, you are in for so much fun!!!

Yep Mischa has been there done that...picture a long living room straight thru' to dining room, Mischa decided to start from front living room window race ahead to dining room...up onto dining table unable to stop.....skidding onto the top off chair and toppled the whole of chair over fracturing frame (if one of our daughters had done that, they would have been in trouble) .....what did I do ???? Race over make sure Mischa was OK..lol
