my cat is lovely, except for her scratching. she's destroyed one sofa, and is on the way to destroying a second, as well as the stairs, and a chair...
she has a scratching post, ignores it, even if i put catnip spray on it.
we've put towels over the offending areas, she moves them aside to scratch.
we stomp and shout if we hear her doing it.
shes even pushed my dad out the way, sat on his feet, and scratched the stairs.
my dad wants to throw out the second sofa and get a leather one, does anyone know if she'll destroy that too? the stairs aren't so bad as it's old carpet and will one day be replaced, but any tips?
i want to try citronella, but i'm worried it will stain.
the cat is approx 8 years old, she was a rescue we got when she was 5-6 years old. i do NOT believe in declawing, and she has the freedom to go outside when ever she wants. (shes shredded a fence post in the garden too...) i don't live with her, i live in the city, but i want to help my dad out!
