I happen to be somewhat of a kitty supermom and I highly recommend a tall scratching post - not the kind you get at the local pet super mart - it must be tall enough for them to get a full stretch. This is why the scratch your couch, it's the right height. Try topcatproducts (dotcom) or purrfectpost (dotcom)or anything similar. Build your own even. I have six fully clawed fluffballs and they prefer these posts to my furniture. I'm not associated with either site, just trying to help so you don't go through it again. Good luck!

And those are scratches big enough that even the extra-large ric-rack or plain ribbon trim can't hide it. :( And a fire in your brother's house! I'm so glad everyone is okay! That's nightmarish to even think about! <br /><br />Also sorry to hear about the tornadoes. I don't know how you all live in the South and Southwest with NO BASEMENTS. As soon as I see nastiness might be swinging through, I start keeping tabs on where the pets are in case we need to 'evacuate', as I call it, though that only means huddling in the basement listening to our little hand-crank weather radio. Zach thinks I'm crazy, but I'm much happier taking attendance so we can grab and go! Tornadoes are nothing to mess with, that's for darned sure.Jenhttp://victoryrollsandv8s.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673220276948215440.post-1709884640012060892013-04-23T17:43:23.902-05:002013-04-23T17:43:23.902-05:00I love that one of the kitties was caught in the a...I love that one of the kitties was caught in the act in the "before" photo!Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673220276948215440.post-15579197962622643502013-04-23T01:29:10.174-05:002013-04-23T01:29:10.174-05:00I recently had to send a fab 60's sectional to...I recently had to send a fab 60's sectional to that showroom in the sky because my dog decided out of nowhere to tunnel his way through the fabric of both pieces.

It's going to be even better with its new vinyl covering, don't you fret! And it's hilarious that patio chairs and college kids don't mix-- maybe their sitting-down velocity was too high!
