New washing machine!

Arrived today! Its lush and sings a little tune when the wash is done! LOL! Its so quiet, you can't hear it! Bramble however.... is terrified of it! She won't walk past it to get to her litter tray! The old clanging one.. fine, Boo not bothered... the new quiet model, oh its the devil! LOL! I even stupidly (very stupidly) picked her up and went to walk past it.. oh the panic ridden scratches from a cat desperate to get away... silly mum...

It's probably the newness Helen, I know anything new here is treated with the upmost suspicion by my lot. They didn't much like my old hoover switched on, but I've only got to look like I'm heading towards the new one and they're off, let alone switch it on

AAww poor Bramble, now this is where cat ARE daft, they're so intelligent with so many things, but then they let the side down, by being all crazy cos of something new. LOL But as we know, changes of any sort can freak them out. She'll be fine, after a couple of days, she won't bother with it.

PMSL! Silly sods!

Bless! Bet it won't be long until she'll come running each time you open the door to it though... both mine were terrified of the new washer (without actually turning it on... it being there was more then enough!)... now they'll both come each time I do laundry, to make sure they climb into the washing machine and cover all the newly washed clothes in cat hairs... then climb into the tumble dryer to give the clothes a lovely extra set of hairs.
