scratching

"Patty" wrote I think since they had specific preferances for what they liked which were readily available, carpeted and sisal/jute, they never touched the furniture since it was made out of fabric and now leather. They never had any interest in the furniture, except to take a nap on it. We had our last sofa for nearly 20 years (yeah, way too long) and there was not any clawed spots on it. You were smart enough to figure out the key thing in keeping them from scratching furniture etc.: to give them something they like to scratch better. I was thrilled to see the 30" scratcher I got at Petsmart for $15. My cats always ignored the shorter ones. This one is great, Gracie gets the crazies and leaps to the top of it and sticks like velcro. It is by a worktable in my upstairs office, and the other morning I actually watched the kitty brain at work. I was playing with Gracie with a toy on a rope, flinging it on either side of the scratching post, you know how they like that. She leapt at the toy and wound up with all four feet stuck to the scratcher. She looked up at the table, and I swear it was like I saw one of those cartoon bubbles appear over her head. She climbed up the scratcher and onto the table and explored it, looking very pleased with herself. I can just picture Gracie's antics! She sounds like a real character with a lot of personality. Thanks for the PetSmart recommendation. I'll have to check it out next time I need to replace Rusty's scratching post. We only recently got a PetSmart in our area. Patty |
