Hi there! Thank you! So, what I see of her when I am home, is that she is scratching the things right in my entry way - I have a small apartment so my post is in the middle of the dining room chairs and the couches (both of which she scratches, and both of which are in my entry way). She will...

Hi - litle update. I put foil on a lot of my furniture and that same day and the day after, I would see her using her post! So I thought, Horay!! I did it! Well, turns out, it must have been a fluke. Since then, she is finding new spots (not covered in foil) to scratch on my couches. The...
