How do you guys do it with children and multiple cats in a big house? I just have a small apartment and single cat and no matter how paranoid I be its never enough. I must have honestly thrown out half of my apartment, tube shielded, out of reached the rest of the mandatory things I just couldnt toss. Christmas items just plain stay in boxes now.
Every few months its something new you never think of, plastic potato bag, getting into the mail, chipping at the walls, etc. I found him with a black staple sticking out of his mouth this morning, nearly had a heart attack but a minute before I seen him playing under my computer chair so it didnt take me long to turn it over and see that he pried loss some big tight staple that keeps the material on. I counted a dozen times and I see no missing staple spot other then the one I caught so I have to assume nothing is ripping his stomach to shreds right now. Not that I can afford another $300 xray/emergency appt right now anyhow.
So now my computer chair is in the car, there is no way to remove all the staples without ruining it nor can I sleep at night with it inside now that he did that once. So now I have to hopefully find one that doesn't do that. The chair is only a year old, a few months back he took of the little black cover circles that hide the nuts and bolts on it, so I tossed those immediately. Not sure how much longer I can keep this cat alive, you would think just playing with him would wear out these tendencies. I can only hope the older he gets the less he is inclined to do this since he will not be two until may.
