What will she think of next?
The other day, I heard some weird-sounding scratching in the sauna. Then
I heard Miranda yowl. She ran a few laps around the flat, then she was back in the sauna and I heard the scratching andf the yowl again. Went to see what was up, and what was up was Miranda! She had climbed up the wood panel of the wall - the walls and ceiling are wooden all the way. Grooaaannnn. I have to get her some kind of climbing wall. They sell these carpet-covered panels in the pet stores that you can fasten to the wall. I'm just afraid that she will want more than just one little panel. This girl is going to ruin me. Besides all the special toys and the fresh meat every day, I will have to pay for all the damage she does to the flat. I can't find any marks on the walls yet, but if she keeps it up, there will certainly be marks. But she's the Princess, my Orchid, and I can't stay mad at her when I look at her worried little face. -- Marina, Frank, Miranda and Caliban.

I'd say carpeted wall panels are a good compromise! Little minx. |

How about getting a bunch of sissal rope and a glue gun? That way you could cover a wall section on rope. Also it should be easily removable and then with a bit of sanding, the wood will be like new! -- Victor M. Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam he Email me he |

Marina, how about carpet scraps? They have them here in carpet stores which
they just give away, or cost next to nothing. You can tack or tape those all up the sauna wall for the Princess to climb to her heart's content.

How about those flaxen (or whatever they're made of) carpets people use
on their balconies (kaislamatto). You could fasten one of those onto a wall. They don't cost much and she would have a wide area to climb. -- Christine in Vantaa, Finland christal63 (at) gmail (dot) com photos: http://photos.yahoo.com/christal63 photos: http://community.webshots.com/user/chkr63 |

I think it sounds like a GREAT idea to make a climbing wall! I remember Karen posting about having something like that built by her father when she was young. Oh, and Mir is too young to get worry lines! -- Cheryl |

That's amazing! This will be a long winter. |

Then he can glue carpet on that and bolt it to the wall for you? |
