Found it and more

[susandennis]

This morning I found poop encased red pool noodle foam in the litter box. Not much but it was there. I'm glad I did not have poop colored pool noodles.

I also remembered last night that the air conditioner insulation is also pool noodle. (What's with all the freakin' pool noodleism in this house???!!!) I checked where it is stashed and discovered that 1. easily cat accessible, 2. two pieces there and one had already clearly been found by cats and 3. there were already foam shards on the carpet.

Geesh!

I cleaned up the shards and moved the two noodles to where they cannot be cat got.

I sure hope to hell that's the end of pool noodle mania around here!!

In between their helping with the change of bed linen and laundry, this has been their morning activity.

Maybe invest in some cat scratching posts, maybe they are scratching & eating the noodles.

trust me. there are scratching posts, big and small, in every corner of this house.

If they were scratching them as they would a post the noodles would be utter tatters with pieces strewn hither, tither and yon I would think.

There's actually something in plastic that absolutely attracts some cats. I have one obsessed with plastic bags to the point we have to immediately dispose of any that come into the house or he'll attempt to destroy the universe to get to it and make his own attempt at a bowel obstruction. They can scent it out with incredible accuracy.

Kittens and cats do keep you tidy!

There must be something in those that makes them taste good to kitties! Who would have thought.

OMG, will the nightmare never end? Hurray for the poopy proof, though,  and great sleuthing!

They obviously just really enjoy how it feels to rip and tear the pool noodle type material. Our cat likes to rip up cardboard with her teeth. We actually leave it out next to the recycling for her to have a chew on sometimes, haha. It's a shame that your cats' passion isn't so harmless >.< I hope this will be the end of it too D:
