Splinter I did order the red museum rope from eBay. No cleaning on the wood. It was in very good shape when it arrived.
My cat must be over 18 years old and very smart. She sleeps on her heated bed and wakes up to eat and fart. When she was younger she would get up in furniture but doesn’t do it anymore.
Ducky can’t even sit on it. That would be pretty messy! Pink boots and nightgowns not allowed.
