Dear Pablo and fan club members,On the mornings that Tracy works, she usually gets this monstrosity out of our computer room and sets it up in the living room. It is a very large and dangerous item called an "ironing board". When she pulls it out, it is flat. Then she makes this hideous noise and it folds out to what you see above. Then she places some of her clothes on top and rubs them with that device you can see sitting on top of the board. I'm not sure why she has to do this, I don't see that the clothes are any different when she is done. When I see the board coming, I get as far away as I can. I'm sure that it would whack me if I got too close. Do you have one of these in your house? Do you have any ideas of how we can get rid of it?

I don't think I would trust one of those things either. We have one too but it doesn't come out very often. Maybe cause Mom doesn't go away to work.
What worries me is this green container that Mom uses to give the garden a "drink". Once one of the kids tried to give me a drink and now I steer clear of that thing. Oh yeah, and the garden hose too!
That thingie looks real skeery. Maybe if you hiss at it enough it'll go away!
Kittyhugs and purrs from MaoMao!
We have one of those, too. Nick and Kate always put it up in the hallway, where I like to sit. A long time ago, I decided that I wasn't going to let that thing scare me, or force me to move, despite the awful screechy noise it makes when they put it up. So I stand my ground. Which means that Nick and Kate have to put it up slowly and carefully, which means less noise and less chance of getting whacked! I also like to rub my scent on the legs, just so the thing knows that I have power over it.
We have one of those, but the only time it comes out is when Mom's grown up kidbeans visit. She never irons, says she doesn't know how. I jumped on top once and the thing started rocking from side to side. I got off as fast as I could and heard this loud crash. When I came out from under the bed, it was gone. Haven't seen it since. Do you want me to see if I can find you a tunnel? Mom got mine at the Wal-Mart. Have a nice weekend!

Oh, yes, If you look on my Deep Thoughts on Thursday Post, you might see it still in the hallway. It leaves me alone, but if my lady bean is standing by it, then it hisses and spits waterrr vaporrr at me! Orrr, maybe it is the hot trrriangle thingy that does that.

We have never seen one before. Neither the maid nor the butler have one.
If you want to get rid of it we suggest peeing on it. Humans usually do not like the pee smell and might throw it out.
I'm very lucky. We have one of those but it never comes out. It's hiding in the laundry room and I never go in there.
We have one of those in the laundry room too. I hate it. And lucky for me, my Mommie hates it, too. But during the very few times she uses it, she yells at me when I try to jump onto it. So, I think that means it is Not Safe.
well, we do have one of those hideous contraptions. I am lucky though because the female slave has forgotten where the iron is. She hasn't seen it in three years. She is a slob.

En casa también hay uno, y escupe agua así que no nos acercamos mucho.
Saludos felinos!
Ohhhhh, don't amind me of that noise! Actyoully, Mom an Dad haf a smaller one wif peg legs that sits on top of the bed an that's the one Mom yousally uses. But not too much acuz she doesn't like usin that hot metal fing. Sumtimes it HISSES just like Bonnie! Purrs!

Thanks for the great ideas everycat! I will have to make an action plan. I'll keep you posted.
We have one, but Mom and Dad thankfully refuse to use it! They'd rather walk around like a wrinkle!
