When we first got Shayna, the annoying 9 month old, we had already put a very nice rug on the wall. After about a week she took a running start then launched herself at the rug and clawed her way to the top. Would've broken my heart if I hadn't been laughing so hard. LOL! Isn't that just like a cat?  ________ 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

My dad once carpeted a whole wall just for the cats with carpet remnants. They LOVED it. What a great idea, Karen. 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

... 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
