OT Kittens scratching sofa
Hodge had never seen a scratching post when we had him (he was seven).
I bought a big one as he is such a big cat, and I took his paws and showed him (very clumsyly) what it was. Then I put a few cat treats on top of it so he had to stand on his hind legs and grip the post with his front to reach them. It is now placed by the door into the Conservatory and outside - a place he passes often. Now he never goes through the door or even near the post without having a little scratch. Its a rope covered post and will last for ever. DD's cats have a similar one, also well used. -- Sally at the Seaside ~~~~~~~~~~ (uk) http://community.webshots.com/user/sallyswin On Tue, 13 Dec 2005 08:01:58 -0500, "She in PA" wrote: Yes they have a scratching post and I pick them up and take the to it. I even but it at the corner of the sofa. Is there anything you can spray on a sofa, that won't hurt the sofa, but the kittens would hate?

Time to accept, time to grow, time to take things slow www.geocities.com/jess_ayad http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/jess_ayad/my_photos ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have three kittens one is 6 months old and the other two are 4 months old. All of them like to law at the end of the sofa. I have tried spraying them didn't work. I tried chasing them with a paper bag with noisy things in it. I just looked like a fool running around the house. Then when I sat the bag down they would go and play with it. I am getting a new sofa is there any suggestions besides getting them de-clawed\? I don't like doing that. She in PA |

OT Kittens scratching sofa
Mine would prolly end up needing a visit to the vet if I did that.
-- LN in NH (Who has been beading more than quilting in the last 2 years) "Anne in CA" wrote in message ... To keep kittens and puppies off of a piece of furnitu set a mousetrap, lay it carefully on the place you do NOT want a fur baby and cover (carefully) with one sheet of newspaper. Fur baby jumps up; mousetrap snaps; fur baby runs and hides! I've done this with both feline and canine babies with equally good results. A particularly persistent Labrador Retriever pup was treated to the mousetrap without paper cover. After the first and only time it snapped at him, just placing a mousetrap (un-set) anywhere would cause him to avoid it. One trap on the bottom step would keep him from venturing upstairs!

Not for nipped noses or toeses; the sheet of newspaper keeps the trap
from biting them. A trip to the vet psychiatrist, maybe ;-) Anne in CA annerudolph AT comcast DOT net "It's not having what you want; it's wanting what you've got." -- Sheryl Crow http://community.webshots.com/user/annerudolph3 http://www.frappr.com/rctq LN (remove NOSPAM) wrote: Mine would prolly end up needing a visit to the vet if I did that. |
