My cat destroyed mine on day one...
:|
Cats can be furniture shredders. They love to use the fronts of the arms of sofas for scratching pads. My cat never scratches any of the furniture. Instead, he vomits on my bed and on the livingroom rug. Not on the hardwood floor or the ceremic tile floor in the kitchen, but on the rug. You haven't lived until you've stepped into cat vomit in the dark with bare feet at 3 in the morning.
I honestly prefer virtual pets. Zero maintenance. When my father bought me a cat and dog and I watched them both grow and die I decided never again. Too much pain and suffering. An endless circle of torment.
Now I see.
You haven't lived until you've stepped into cat vomit in the dark with bare feet at 3 in the morning.
yep, I've been there too... it's probably some universal experience of cat owners, the 'ole 3am cat vomit squish...
I brushed a ton of loose hair from my cat. I threw the lump in front of her, and the dumb ass paws at it, and then hisses at me when I tried to stop her from eating it. Then she stuffs the hairball in her mouth and she spends the next 20 minutes trying to spit out all the fur she just tried to eat.
Train your cat by applying aluminum foil and/or double sided tape to the areas where it scratches. Put multiple scratchers nearby their favorite spots. Eventually the cat will learn to use the scratchers instead and you can remove the deterrents.
