My Scratching Post

It's Saturday! My Mom and Dad will be home more today. Right now they are out so I'll take the opportunity to tell you about what happened Wednesday.

Flair and I were playing tag around the living room. We were having a ton of fun. I ran up to my scratching post and jumped up the levels to the top. I got it rocking pretty good. Flair followed me up but instead climbed the post. My jumping and her climbing threw off the delicate scratching post balance and it started to tip over. As it fell over I was sitting on the top rest and Flair was clinging to the side. I jumped off just befor it hit the ground. Flair didn't. It fell right on her. She ran so fast out from under it I didn't even see her. I just heard her nails doing a burn out on the laminate. We hid under the bed for a while. But that got old so I sat with Mom and Dad and tried to convince her to come out. After a long time she did and not by choice. Mom held her and checked her all over she was still really scared but not hurt.

The next day Mom came home from work with toys to make us feel better. Flair played a little bit but was still really skittish. This morning she was back to normal and playing with our new toys. Mom got a big cement block and put it on the base of the post now we can jump as much as we won't and it don't rock or tip over.


It was really funny.
