Me and my brother are planning on finding a place and renting together, and I have a big fur family, and his only conditions on them were:
1) Dont let them ruin his $2000 leather couch (understandable)
2) Dont let them ruin his speakers (Also understandable).
The only guys I'm worried about are my cats. They will scratch it all to pieces.
I called around the vets in town gathering prices for "soft paws"........about $300 for all 7 cats which is less than I expected. But then I called one vet and she told me they aren't worth it, you spend the money and if the cat is a big scratcher they can fall off within a couple of days.
She reccommended bitter apple spray.....I'm planning on buying some of that today to test it out around here to see if it works, but I'm wondering if anyone else has any other ideas? (Declawing is NOT an option. I dont want to start a debate on that, but I'm saying now, declawing is cruel, plain and simple, so not an option and not worth reccommending.)
Any other options I would really appreciate though! Thanks.
