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
Cousin Shepherd seems to be very resourceful but he must have attended the same school of camouflage as MMM.
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
Those are both inventive ways of using the scratcher.
How clever of Cousin Shepherd to find two ways of hiding under the Ess.

We like that fort look. We’ve never tried that with our Ess. Thanks for that idea!
I think that Ess a great way to pass the time!
The Ess is very versatile! Cousin Shepard’s looking good!
The ESS is a wonderful thing to have around. All kinds of uses for it. Cousin Shepherd, you are such a smart boy. So glad you found that great home.
We LOVE our Ess! But we hadn’t thought of the privacy wall usage. Thanks! Purrs…
What a purrfectly creative Ess usage! Four paws up!
Cousin Shepherd is very resourceful in his use of 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.
Very very smart,
I haven’t thought about that way.
MOL!! I always forget to squish my butt into my hidey place too…suggest ya stick to the screen effect Cousin Shepard. Paw pats, Savannah
That is a great idea. Can we borrow it?
