Zoe has decimated my shower curtain. It is in tatters. Must get a new curtain made of thicker plastic. Sigh.

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%.

Good cat parents total love

I know how you feel. My kitten is the worst offender. Both mine and my husband's arms and legs have been torn up since we brought him home on Thanksgiving. ?

Owowowowowow.........

Did you rub some catnip on the ,"real," scratching post , and maybe leave a little around the base ? Helps to give them a preference .

Ouch.
