Has anyone here combined cats with inflatable furniture yet? I’m curious as to how long the furniture survives (no fair if your cat is declawed!)

I started to buy a chair for the cats to play on, but since my niece’s cat managed to puncture their waterbed mattress, I decided it would be a waste of money. Is the inflatable furniture tougher than a waterbed mattress?

I would think that a dog would be pretty rough on the inflatable furniture, too. My worst scars are from dog claws, not cat claws. (I work for a vet! That’s where the scars come from!)

I dont have any inflatable furniture. ☹ All I got is a bean bag chair. They sure are comfortable though. 🙂

BTW, it appears that jti has been eaten by a rare cinnamon grizzly. Anyone know when the memorial service will be held?

It must be terribly upsetting to see a carefully crafted OP being cynically ignored.

My next door neighbors cats are incredibly nosy, they just keep coming in when I’m not looking.  
I don’t mind really they are quite cute and fluffy but I wonder if there is any value in such an instinct, I mean doesn’t it put them at increased risk to be constantly going unknown situations?  
**Unclbeer** I must bow to the genious of one who can write such material.Do you work for a government agency?
