It seems Cousin Shepherd has found many uses for the ess scratcher toy. The most commonly seen is the storm shelter look. This way he can monitor Cousin Earl and (hopefully) see a threat coming from a distance.
Being a BIG, beautiful boy has its disadvantages. Cousin Shepherd doesn’t quite fit in to his self-selected storm shelter. If Hurricane Earl decides to swing around and strike from the aft, Shepherd may have to look for safer shelter or fend for himself.
Using the ess to create a privacy wall is quite creative. When turned on its side, the ess offers Shepherd a fort-like area to sit in “private” to watch Cat TV in relative peace. Watching Cat TV is Shepherds #1 favorite thing to do.

Didn’t know there were so many uses for an ess. Um, why is the keyboard on it’s side? No, don’t tell me. MOL
Oui Oui says
Cousin Shepherd seems to be very resourceful but he must have attended the same school of camouflage as MMM.
Kitties Blue says
That is all very creative, but what we want to know is why that keyboard is standing on end. Is it part of the fort? Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty may, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and calista Josette
The Paw Relations says
Those are both inventive ways of using the scratcher.

How clever of Cousin Shepherd to find two ways of hiding under the Ess.

You are one smart cookie for sure Cousin Shepherd! That is a brilliant use of the ESS!

I never thought of using my scratcher as a privacy wall before…I think I need a BUNCH of them to keep Waffles at bay!

We don’t fit under ours either – but we do like to sit on it.

I haven’t thought about that way.
