You could try getting some scraps of the carpet and putting them in all

the
rooms. Preferably a carpet that is even more enticing to her than what

you
have now.


This is a good idea. Not to be difficult, but how would I know what's more
enticing than what she has now other than by buying scraps over and over and
trying them all? Is there some type that's supposed to be more enticing for
scratching, in general, than others?

I find that the scratchier the carpet feels, the more my cats seem to like

it.
I think berber type carpeting or something that has a rough texture is

what
they probably will be attracted to the most. If you have any of those

dollar
stores nearby, that's where I found some carpet pieces. Then you can just

rub
a little catnip into the rug for good measure.

Good luck, Cate, and let me know how it works out


Thanks on both counts. I will.
