OMG, how funny. Well you know what I mean. Poor little Nugget afraid of the big bad ironing board. Ripley can relate - he runs whenever I set mine up.

Wonder what bad experience the little guy had with an ironing board?

Glad you got that figured out and please give my apologies to Buddy. Honest, I wasn't trying to pin it on him.

LOL!!!! That's okay Lori, Buddy forgives you.

The others also don't like it when I set it up, but they sure love to lay on it afterwards though.

Yes Catty1, relieved is right.

Of course he was scared - I have heard that ironing boards eat unsuspecting kitties! They don't eat bunnies, so that's no problem in this house, but the bunny would eat the cord to the iron, so that's what has to be afraid here!

I'm glad you figured it out, for both your sakes. It makes you want to laugh, except that we know the fear our feels is very real. My cats don't mind the ironing board but hate the noise it makes as I put it up. They also like to lie on it after I've finished so I have to sticky roller it before I use it again.

Poor Nugget.

I am glad your meowmie finally got rid of that BAD monster in the kitchen!

I can relate, Willow is afraid of the ceiling fans. (but he usually get over it after they've been running a few days)

I'm glad you figured it out. Poor boy! Scared of the big, bad board.

Kuhio was the same way. She would ignore it all winter but once it got turned on, she would slink around the house for days until she figured it wasn't flying off the ceiling at her. We went through this

every

year.

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.
