Cats and Lamps

[kgeorge]

Anyone else had the experience of their cat kncoking over a lamp. My sweet little Sundace got real rowdy this morning and toppled over a pretty large lamp, it didn't break but I had to rebend some of the metal on it. He is really good most of the times.

Know what?? Mimi has never broken anything in the 11 years I have had her. But..... (isn't there always a "but"?), Butter, the new male, who is very curious, broke something his second day in the house. He knocked over a chamber lamp I had on the end table and the glass shattered. He also thinks he is a goat and no paper (even my work) is safe. He loves to rip it up. Found someone's financial statement chewed up on the floor of my office this afternoon as a matter of fact. How will I explain that one?

My goonies are forever knocking over my lamps, because when they are chasing each other they somehow think they have to dive over the end tables to do it. I recently decided, after changing bulbs yet again and noticing one of the shades has suffered damage, to go with a floor lamp and/or a light kit on the ceiling fan.

Thanks for the fire advice, if I am not in the room or am leaving the house, I turn the lights off and leave only the kitchen and dining room lights on (they are in the ceiling). Thanks again.
