I've had many cats, but never one which has torn up my leather furniture like one of the ones I have now. I've tried everything to get him to use scratching posts, and I have scratching pads around the house. I've tried the sprays, and they don't work. But I won't declaw him. That's mutilation, and it's cruel.
@PhoenixPhail I totally get that. I’m doing this with the my sons cat because I’m tired of it’s shenanigans. He scratches the couch only when no one is around and there is still so much couch to save.
When the black cat chews my hair, and is generally aggressively affectionate when I need space. When the dog manages her anal glans 🤢. When orange cat obsesses over things with ribbon.
@UnderLockDown the black one is a freaking hemorrhoid, he'll headbutt you until you hug him. If you're wearing your hair in a bun/ponytail, he gets his long teeth stuck in your hair. Clown.
Toss up between fussing with each other late evening and they sound like a bunch of raccoons when they do it and Sweet Pea likes to bang on the cage as though she is trying to tear a bar out.
