Zoe and Cloris often use my bare leg as a scratching post. Ouch. Ow, ow ow ..... I bought them a nice high quality scratching post which they use. They also use everything else in the house, including me. Silly cats. Very silly.
When cats are first brought into the house they are talked to and respected, eventually they get to the point where they start to climb on us and we always talk to them and let them climb, but point out that they should not use their claws. They get the idea and now when they climb on us they do not use their claws. I have no idea why this is not the fact with others, we do not yell at the children and we get along fine. We have six now.

                                        I gifted my cats with seven new scratch forms, along with five straw rugs, while double stick taping the furniture that I wanted them to stop using. We have had some success, but not 100%.

@SKH78 Something about catch scratches makes them hurt more and take longer to heal.

Posted by LaurenIt would be warmer for us both if he'd get on my lap, but it has to be his idea - though he still likes to stay close.
