New Wall whumping

House I grew up in did a right-angle bend through the kitchen, heading from the dining room to the bedrooms. Cats, when chased across the linoleum, would lose traction negotiating the turn... The cat's slide was generally interrupted by the oven. The tormenter's, occasionally, by Mom.

New ObAol - Me Too!
Happens with one of my parents' cats. However, the cat isn't chased*, I just throw cat-biscuits across the floor, and off she goes.

Skitter skitter skitter
*whump*
Then crunch-crunch-crunch on the cat biscuit, and back to me with the cat equivalent of a 'Next please!' look on her face :)

(Side note - if you throw something inedible, it turns into a game of fetch.)


* but, having been desexed, it is chaste...

New Cats on slippery floors.
My sister's cat usually forgets she can use her claws for traction. She is often seen skidding along the cork floor... My mum's cat, OTOH, *does* use her claws and can often be heard as she walks on the cork.

New Gah.
So what does the cork floor look like by now?

This is more than a curious question: we have 6 cats and I'm considering a cork floor for the family room.

New No visible cat damage, actually.
And it's been there for 20 years and four cats. There is more damage from sunshine and chair legs.

I should mention that mum's cat isn't one for running across it. Or running anywhere much. It's just not her style. My sister's cat OTOH has a peripheral vision problem which makes her a bit more skittish and random in her locomotion.
