Midnight elves
Last night my bf & i made this scratchie for our cats from scratch. We were really enthusiastic at the start but an hour later, we had many other adjectives rolling off our tongues! It’s crazy work and it’s really because we’re too cheap to pay $18 for one from the pet shop. The shop hasn’t been stocking the usual Japanese brand we buy and uhh what $18 for my cats to destroy cardboard every two weeks, not happening!
But you know, after giving it a go myself, $18 is justifiable in my head now. Ours is a lot cuter than the store-bought ones tho, don’t you think? It looks like a cross section of a tree trunk. So that’s Indie testing out our hard work – she says “yes you folks passed”. The story’s actually funny: The cats had nothing to scratch on because we didn’t buy the $18 scratchie. Fatboy’s adaptable so he learnt to scratch on the pillars of this. Indie, on the other hand, not so – so she took to tearing my bf’s leather chair apart. He got a new chair from Ikea last night, so we got cardboard. And we build the scratchie using the cardboard. It came full circle!
