“Get her a vertical scratching post! She’ll love it so much more than the flat scratch pad!” Erik stared in disbelief at his cat. Oh, she was definitely using her new scratching post. Sort of. Erik had walked into the lair to find his cat upside down on the scratching post. She had her front legs wrapped around the post and was ‘bunny-kicking’ it with her back legs!
“What the…?” Erik had absolutely no words.
After a few minutes ‘bunny-kicking’, Ayesha got down, went over to her scratch pad, sharpened her claws on it, then went back to the post and repeated her earlier performance! Erik was firmly convinced he was now shacked up with a complete lunatic. He thought this was completely insane, even for a cat!

Later that day, Christine walked into the lair for her lessons. And her jaw dropped. Ayesha was weird enough with her scratching post ‘bunny-kicking’, but then she saw Erik.
He was upside down on a floor lamp pole with his arms wrapped around it and trying to ‘bunny-kick’ it with his legs!
Christine’s mind went blank. She turned right around - without a word, and left. There would be no lessons today. “Completely insane,” She thought, “even for Erik!”
