One or both of my cats are tearing up my carpet. I keep finding little pieces everywhere. They never do it when I'm around so I can't really discipline them against it, but I really need to put an end to it.
What they are doing is where the carpet goes around a door frame, they're finding little strings of plastic from the edges of the carpet sticking out and tugging at it and tearing up my carpet in the process. So far they've attacked the area near my coat closet, the entrance to a bedroom and the latest is they've found a spot where the carpet wraps around the end of the flooring near a staircase. In all these spots, I've gone and cut whatever plastic is sticking out to lessen the appeal and also sprayed a bit of my perfume on it as a deterrent. That's the best I could come up with.
Is there any other sort of spray I could use to deter them from coming back to the same spots? I haven't done it yet, but I plan to go around my condo and cut away any loose plastic from the carpet that they haven't found yet. What else can I do to prevent them from destroying more of my carpet? I just moved into this condo so it's a little frustrating. I think eventually I may just have to invest some money into replacing the carpet with wood floors but right now I can't afford that.
