Force field repels cat!
Our family room is separated from the kitchen by two steps down on one
side of the room, and by a banister railing the rest of the width of the room. A recent furniture re-arrangement has left the railing clear on the kitchen side, and on both sides near the steps. The space between the rails is plenty large enough to admit a cat, and the energy-efficient* felines of the household regularly pass between rooms by that means instead of walking ALL THE WAY OVER TO THE STAIRS (phew). The railings and the opening have proven irresistable to a certain 1 year old baby, so DH and I ordered a clear rigid vinyl barrier that attaches to the rails and prevents the way-ward toddler from getting stuck or worse. I installed it yesterday. Well, last night, Mithu was comfortably ensconced under my desk (on the family room side) when Fizzgig (on the kitchen side) spotted him. Feeling frisky, Fizz crept up to pounce on Mithu from above, and ran head-first into the force field. He shook it off admirably, but I'm pretty sure I saw Mithu smirking...

Catherine will definitely add years of entertainment and enlightenment to Mithu and Fizzgig's life-span. Definitely an event to remember. Pam S. |
