Missy's favorite scratch post
A Spanish saying says that "a problem that affects a lot of people is the consolation of fools" Then I am definitely a fool. ALL surfaces at home are scratching posts for Sombra. Seeing beautiful Missy at it attenuates my frustration.

Sparkle's is our couch. Despite that fact that we have *three* scratching posts in the front room with it. So frustrating! She's a stubborn old lady.
Maybe more different types of scratching surfaces (corrugated, carpeted, sisal, etc. and horizontal as well as vertical)?Sparkle's is our couch. Despite that fact that we have *three* scratching posts in the front room with it. So frustrating! She's a stubborn old lady.
Lol, we have both carpet and sisal scratching posts in here. Horizontal scratcher is in the other room. We could do more, but we're running out of space.Maybe more different types of scratching surfaces (corrugated, carpeted, sisal, etc. and horizontal as well as vertical)?
Just thinking of possible sofa-saving measures. Another great thing to do if you're not already is putting catnip, silvervine, or a combination of the two on the scratching surfaces. I also get catnip spray for the horizontal surfaces. They get used more after I spray this.Lol, we have both carpet and sisal scratching posts in here. Horizontal scratcher is in the other room.

Well, I wouldn't exactly say that, @elgecko -- they started the process by getting the paper towels, didn't they?The following picture shows how Buddy rearranged a few plants for me, because he "lost his mind" that a fly was in the house. I'm not sure if he tried jumping up on the small table with the plants. If he did he had a prickly situation since they are almost all cactus there.

You can see Ariel checking out the mess Buddy made.
I asked them to get me some paper towels to help clean up the mess. After 10 minutes I had to go see what was going on...

Sparkle stepping on the spiny plants so she can get at the one she likes to eat and throw up.
