Thanks for your story Mrs P. It filled me with hope. Then i tried the foil trick.

My cat wasn't even phased in the slightest. In fact I think she thought it made everything a little bit warmer and more comfy. Then when she had had enough of it she proceeded to shred it. She does this with any paper left lying around too. Tears tiny bits off and spits them out then keeps shredding until there is only confetti left. I figure if she had no problem chewing foil then that trick just isn't going to work.

I told you she was a little rebellious attitude cat!
