Hi! I'm new here, I have been looking for some advice for my cat. I have a 13 year old Calico cat named Buffy, I have had her all her life and all though she has always scratched things like the couch, it wasn't anything that bad, and she even went a year without scratching anything but a scratching post but in the past year, between her and my sisters cat (me and my sister live together) they have destroyed the underside of my box spring, my cat has scratched up my dresser, the carpet and door frame. She will stand up and stretch against all the door frames but she doesn't scratch them up, it's my bedroom door frame in particular that she has scratched up really bad. I have tried everything that I could think of to get her to stop... sprays, double sided tape, scratching posts in every room... I even have a scratching post hanging on my bedroom door knob but she scratches the door frame that is literally just centimeters from the post on the knob! I have the double sided tape on the door frame as well and that doesn't stop her. I put the soft claw caps on her and she has done pretty well with keeping them on but as soon as one of them fell off, she was right back to scratching the door frame. My sisters cat chewed the caps off within minutes of getting them out on.
