Temporarily block chimney in fireplace idea needed - kitten problem!

rach_k

Random scrunched up paper (I think I used an old magazine or something), wrapped in a black bin bag and pushed just far enough up that you can't see it when looking at it from a normal angle.  As it's black, you won't notice it when looking closer either.  If it rustles a bit as wind blows across the top of the chimney, just fill the bag a bit more.

If you think you have problems now, just wait until you put a Christmas tree up.

No tree for us this year - and definitely no tinsel or anything else chewable!

Somebody should invent the kitten equivalent of a "Baby Walker". Full freedom of movement except when they try to approach within 100mm of anything vulnerable to cat destruction.

Or dangerous!! Things I didn't even spot before they happened...attacking the hanging chord from blinds and getting tangled, fun with paper bag until he is tangled in the paper handles. Argh! I've learnt now haha.

A harness and an adjustable bungee cord should do the trick.  Set to allow kitten to get within a foot of 'danger' and then fires it back to where it started.

That would be a Kittyapult, not a Kittywalker!

I'm thinking of reporting you to the RSPK.
