I figured it out...:)

I seldom iron clothes. On Sunday, I broke down and dragged out the board and the iron. I don't think Lucy ever saw me iron before (year and a half) and I thought she might have some issues with the steam iron and the ironing board....but no..... All the cats managed to jump on the board at least once when I left the room. I always remembered to turn off the iron when I left. They are not afraid of the vacuum either. They were terrified of the ceiling fans when I had them installed, but got with the program after a week or two.

Good luck with ironing.

I think the story is soooooo typical of a cat. You just never know. When I move furniture in the house, there is always a big hub bub and sniffing contest......

CATS!

LOL. That's okay, Nugget - I think ironing boards are evil too! :D

My mom's big metal ironing board makes a horrible SKREEEEEEEEECH! when the legs are unfolded. I hate the noise, and can only imagine what the effect would be on a kitty's ears. :eek:

OMG, something so simple! :D Glad the mystery is solved and it was nothing too terrible!

Great detective work!! You solved that case fast. ;)

If my parents had realized how much a balloon was stressing Nipo, we could have prevented her hepatic lipidosis. Kitties do not like change! ;)
