A kitty can never have too many scratch pads.
Of course they're good for scratching ~ but as you can see,
they serve many other purposes well, too.

This scratch pad is my Number One favorite, it belonged to the
kitties who came before me and I'm so very thankful
they left it here for me.
Of course, mine Mommy is not always thankful when I choose to play with
it around 2 or 3 a.m. and the little ball lights up, flashing brightly and
makes clattering noises as it rolls round and round!
By the way,
I offered her the use of any or all of my scratch pads the other day.
I think many humans right now would benefit greatly from having their
own "purrsonal scratch pad" to attack multiple times a day.
They can be wonderful devices for venting one's frustrations ...
Just over 60 years ago, mine Mommy moved to Washington, DC after she
finished college. Although she didn't work for the government, her office window
overlooked the White House and the South lawn, a view she never tired of back then.
Now, any thoughts of "that place and its occupant" are likely to cause her to have
a "hissy fit" ... oh yes, borrow my scratch pad, Mommy ...
we agree that is like havin shoes.. or bags... or sardines...
ReplyDeleteI get why your mom does not prefer your favorite scratcher, Juney. The peeps like their beauty sleep to be uninterrupted. Yup, we hope she does decide to borrow one of your scratch pads! It can only help the cause, right?!
ReplyDeleteyou look so sweet in all of them and like they were custom designed just for you
ReplyDeleteOur kitties had some scratch pads around the house and they enjoyed them. It was a mix of their scratching posts and the pads. They never scratched any place they shouldn't and that was important.
ReplyDeleteI have lots of scratchy pads too, June. The Lady wishes I would use them rather the furniture. ~Murphy
ReplyDeleteYou sure have lots of scratch pads, June. Our mom would like to scratch the eyes out of many of those people working in that big White house.
ReplyDeleteWe love our scratch pads!
ReplyDeleteJune ~ you make scratch pads beautiful and fun ~ hugs,

You know June, I think you're onto something - I might find scratching a pad to be a great relief for present worries. I was born in DC but haven't been back for many years. I think it would totally creep me out now ...
ReplyDeleteJune one can never have too much fun or too many wonderful scratch pads
ReplyDeleteHugs Cecilia
CB uses a scratchy pad for a beddy too, June.
ReplyDeleteAm hoping for some scream therapy myself.
You make good use of your scratch pads, June. I agree, you Mommy would probably benefit on venting her feelings on one of them.
ReplyDeleteThose scratchy pads look like they get good use! Comfy napping spots, too.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that's what our mom needs to help her get through all the stressful news these days. We're gonna have to check those out!
ReplyDeleteHappy scratching sweet June! Lots of humans need those scratch pads! Thanks for joining Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteYou have lots of fun scratchers!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to let humans use scratch pads. You are lucky to have so many. XO
ReplyDeleteEveryone needs a way to vent. Enjoy those scratch pads!
ReplyDeletethat is a fine scratch you have
ReplyDeleteOona: "Oona is also a fan of this kind of scratching pad. There is one in the bedroom and Oona is the only one who uses it because it is hers, all hers, and she defends it from all the other cats."
ReplyDeleteCharlee: "Maybe the rest of us just don't go for that kind of scra—"
Oona: "IT IS ALL OONA'S!"
