Default cat in the box spring

Here's a new one:

The past two weeks, Rizzo has taken to occasionally sleeping under my bed
during the day. I suppose it's the coolest, quietest place, and thus he
finds it attractive. What I didn't know is that he'd been gradually tearing
a hole in the fabric on the underside of the box spring. I guess Jack
discovered it yesterday, as last night I hear a loud RIIIIIIIIP come from
the bedroom, followed by a decidedly muscular thumping. Rizzo is sitting to
the side of the bed with an "it wasn't me" look on his face. I look under
the bed and see a cat sized hole. I see Jack's feet through the sheer
fabric. He wasn't agitated, just kind of hanging out. Despite offers of
treats and thumping on the sides of the box spring, he showed no inclination
of coming out. With a flashlight, I could see he had plenty of space, and
wasn't caught in anything. I finally enticed him out with his crazy-toy
feather.

I thought about recovering the bottom of the box spring with some stronger
fabric, but I figured that was just buying time. I put some 1/4" masonite
between the box spring and the frame, so that it would take many weeks of
determined clawing to even get a small hole. Of course, both cats have now
lost all interest in sleeping under the bed.

Get him declawed. Ours does fine and he's had all twenty removed. He's
a happy healthy cat. Don't listen to what these liberal bleeding
hearts have to say on this issue. They say they're against it because
it hurts the cat. But the reality of the situation is far more
sinister. The truth is, they want the cat to be able to do what he
pleases, when he pleases Regardless of who or what he destroys or
hurts. It's the same way they raise their kids... The "If it feels
good, do it" crowd. Their creed it "Do As Thou Will". No rules. No
right. No wrong. No morality. Only lascivious behaviour. It's the same
thing with declawing. Same principle, anyway.
Take it from IBen. Get the animal declawed. The wanton destruction
ends there.
