Hi there,
I have a VERY old rocking recliner that I took in after my grandfather passed away. Nobody uses it so I'm not terribly worried about the reclining aspect. However, my rather shy cat loves to hide under it if there's noise from outside and recently I cleaned the area and moved everything around but now my more rambunctious cat likes to jump on it, making it rock pretty heavily and I'm worried about what would happen if he does that and she's hiding under there (he's like 18 pounds, big boy).
I shoved a pillow and book down there hoping maybe it will stop some of the rocking and maybe stop her from going under there but I know how stubborn they are and there's really no stopping them in my experience. Is this enough? Will the rocking hurt her while she's in there? (the back part shouldn't be able to get low enough to crush a tail anyways but I'm concerned about the inside parts). I have a pretty big attachment to this chair but I have nowhere else to put it, but I don't want to constantly be stressing out about them either.
