This is my birthday present, from the people at work.

It is a 2 ft high cat scratching pole, with 4 swinging mice and a two-faced mouse head.

When I opened the box, I laughed and laughed. I did tell them not to spend money to buy me stuffs and cakes, so they thought they would spend on my cats instead.

I think the pole is actually kitten size, and at the moment the cats are avoiding it. I think it will be some time before they would dare to use it.

However, it is a very thoughtful present!
