... 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? Cate |

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 Lauren ________ See my cats: http://community.webshots.com/album/56955940rWhxAe Raw Diet Info: http://www.holisticat.com/drjletter.html http://www.geocities.com/rawfeeders/ForCatsOnly.html Declawing Info: http://www.wholecat.com/articles/claws.htm |

I just may do this to one of my walls. Do you know what he used to tack it up there? ________ See my cats: http://community.webshots.com/album/56955940rWhxAe Raw Diet Info: http://www.holisticat.com/drjletter.html http://www.geocities.com/rawfeeders/ForCatsOnly.html Declawing Info: http://www.wholecat.com/articles/claws.htm He used Liquid Nails.
