Title: Beware if you have a recliner chair - tragic end for kitten
Post by: maryas on October 09, 2010, 22:32:38 PM

I was on a training course at the RSPCA in Halifax on Thursday evening and the manager told us that someone couldn't find their kitten and she told her to look in the recliner chair cos they like to hide in places and only recently someone sat in their recliner and when lent back the kitten was squashed and killed in the mechanism part at bottom.  :'( :( :hug:

That's horrible - poor baby  :'(

My mum has a sofa with a recloner at one end and her cat, Shelley is always under there. I have mentioned before that it is dangerous.

we have recliners but never move until we know where everyone is - it was a nightmare when goose and binky (rip) were small. they used to like sleeping up in the back.

We have electric recliners - they close very slowly and we are very veey careful about who might be under there!
