mojo1 Â Â 10 #1 Posted September 19, 2009 (edited) I'm spring cleaning... yes it's September I know, but in Spring I had to pack my life into boxes for the refurb so I'm doing it now. Â It's a big job this time as I'm unpacking the last of my boxes and rearranging the room to make it a bit more special and homely. Â I have a dozen peacock feathers. Â Â I also have a one year old manic tom cat that hates me and anything that I like. Â He especially hates my peacock feathers and wants to kill them... badly. Â I've tried intertwining them into my twig lights... this looked beautiful, but has ended in disaster as the twig light is broken, the feathers are not as pretty as they were and the cat looks very pleased with himself. Â So I'm at a loss. Â Other than gluing them to the ceiling, where is a girl to stick her feathers?

donnygirl   10 #7 Posted September 19, 2009 I always thought it was bad luck to have peacock feathers in a house.  I had some beautiful silk flowers and a couple of lovely houseplants until I got 2 kittens.............  I put the surviving silk flowers away and stuck the houseplants outside for the summer. I've just started bringing the plants indoors at night and the kittens who are now a year old are not showing much interest in them. I'm hoping that they have outgrown their interest in plants but we shall see.  May be you should leave the peacock feathers packed away for a bit longer.

Dozy   11 #9 Posted September 19, 2009 Mucking out????  Do you have horses in there now?  No, but there's certainly piles of .... stuff!!  So far, I've discovered the new loo seat, a double garden electric socket (with timer), my pink camping chair, Safe4 disinfectant and odour remover and a 15 metre hose reel, which I'm trying to put the handle on!!

medusa   16 #11 Posted September 19, 2009 And let him win???  NEVER!!!    There's not alot of my sanity left today, thanks to that cute little bundle of joy.  Tie them on to a piece of string and attach that to the ceiling so that they're suspended about 18" above the ground.  There you go- cat entertainment centre. With any luck he'll tire himself out so much that he'll forget that he's a young tom cat who thinks he owns the world and start being a nice cat!

Salster! Â Â 10 #12 Posted September 19, 2009 There are many places you can stick them. Alas, none are entirely suitable for a family forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
