I just got a new leather lounge, it cost a bomb, & the kitty couldn't be more pleased, seems to be of the opinion that it was purchased soley for him to sink his claws into. It's driving me bonkers!!! I've trimed his claws, thrown a blanket over the bits he's scratching, & chased him away from it so many times that i'm losing weight from the excersise. If he keeps it up, i may have to review his position as a member of the family ( a prospect that the missus doesn't agree with). He's got scatching-posts, but completely ignores them, he's even got his own rug to do with as he pleases, but nothing has the same appeal as the new leather lounge. I'm nearly at my wits end........HELP!!!!
