Hello all.
Every night I have to stop my cat from shredding up the wooden doorways and the carpet near them. She claws almost every corner, nook and cranny of the unit. They are now starting to show visible damage. She has two scratching posts and enjoys using them regularly but there is nothing I can do to stop her. I've tried taping, using feliway, covering carpets and blocking off whole patches of carpet. Nothing in Heaven or Hell will dissuade her. She's about three years old, primarily indoors and healthy. I have had her about a year. She seems absolutely adamant that she will rip the place to shreds.
I love the girl but I can't afford thousands of dollars in repairs to the unit I live in. Admittedly there are times I'm on the verge of tears because of her.
