Bonnie dines at the Sheepskin Cafe
I have a pet cushion, a large one with soft sheepskin wool on one side
and a some soft material on the other side. I put it behind my back for comfort when I sit on my computer chair. It's a perfect fit and so comfortable. I began to notice that there were tufts of wool all around my chair. You guessed it - Bonnie was dining out at the sheepskin cafe. I soon caught her in the act - she had the cushion clasped with both paws which steadied it as she applied the fangs and ripped out large chunks!! I was furious, I am fond of that cushion. I yelled at her and took it away. However we all know that Bonnie is a boomerang cat, once she has an idea in her head nothing will stop her. After a continuing battle involving more tufts of wool everywhere and a cushion that was starting to look moth-eaten I had a solution. I wrapped the whole cushion in a large blanket. I then made a discovery. Bonnie is an expert at unravelling blankets. She had the cushion out in about 40 seconds and had ripped out her first tuft of wool by the time I got to her. My next ploy is to spray it with flyspray, she doesn't like the smell, the trouble is neither do I!!! Bev -- I believe in an open mind, but not so open that your brains fall out. |

Hi Bev,
I can really sympathize with you - Persephone likes to do similar things. Can I suggest that instead of using fly spray that you try a citrus spray instead. Cats *hate* the smell and hoomins don't mind it. Who knows, it might work! Tish Bev wrote in message ...

Put your pillow away until she forgets about it and give her a new toy to play with. Maybe with capnip. MLB |

Wish I had a suggestion other than putting the cushion away, but I don't . My parents have a Siamese named Tucker who *loves* chair cushions. He absolutely destroys them when he can get his hands on them... we actually buy him cheap ones for Christmas as gifts. There is one cushion in the house that Mom keeps for a friend to use behind her back when they come over to play cards, Mom keeps it way up high where Tucker can't get it. But if you pull that cushion down to give it to the friend to use, Tucker's eyes glow red and he turns into a ******* cat before your very eyes! Stacey P.S. Bonnie reminds me very much of Tucker, who loves to bite my mother on any bare skin available for no reason! |

It's a "PET cushion", NOT a people cushion. Bonnie is just emphasizing things... |

Of course, the cushion is a PET cushion - Bonnie knew that and I should have recognised the fact immediately. I have now formally apologised to Bonnie and wrapped the cushion in gift paper with a giant ribbon around it. This way she will have much fun untying the ribbon, ripping off the paper and munching the cushion to death. Bev -- I believe in an open mind, but not so open that your brains fall out. |
