There is something sort of therapeutic about shredding. I remember the first time my sister showed it to me a few years back. I thought it was the greatest invention ever. I can relate very much to the cat.

I find the shredder to be one of my most useful pieces of equipment! I even shred things that don't rally need to be shredded, like junkmail, LOL. Just make sure Mr. G. doesn't get his tail into that thing...

I used to enjoy shredding paper at work, too, when I had the chance...
old payrolls, schedules, pictures of my former boss, (er, no, not the last one, although...)......

It takes a wise person to recognise when they are happy

Well Kabu I have a shredder but I find it easier to compost the good paper and burn the bit of glossy. Didn't you find the dust was annoying and the noise. Want to buy a good one?

I've never thought of using a paper shredder to release tension, etc, but it makes a lot of sense.

I think some stores should sell household items as toys for pets
I bet they would make a lot of money!

I used to imagine the face of someone that shall remain nameless for the sake of family harmony while I diced the onions and veggies while making dinner   loll... it did help!  so I totally believe you got relief from your shredder... I am so happy you are happy Kabu :-)  and Blessed... and You :-)  xoxoxo

It is satisfying to run some of that stuff through the shredder
and know some jerk at the recycling plant isn't going to get his hands on your personal info for some kind of scam.

Have a wonderful week, too, Kabu.  My cat, Patches, became a shredder himself.  He brought a bird into the house and had a time tearing it up.  There are feathers all over the place.  I feel so sorry for that innocent bird! Mal

Mr G is a precious cat. I can just see him in front of the shredder. Back when George and I had a bath company we did a lot of gift boxes and baskets. A local banker got the shredded money from whatever it is you call the federal bank and gave it to us to pack our gift packages, it was fun. xoxoxoxoxo
