All my cats are designer pets. They redesigned the couch, the stair carpet, the back of my chair. Very good designers.
What is it with cats and stair carpet? It's like a super shitty scratching post? I had one cat that refused to scratch anything but the top two stairs to the point where he pulled the carpet pad off
I got some of those corrugated scratching boards and popped one onto the second step from the bottom and another onto the top of the stairs and he never deviated from the scratchers after that.
Yeah mine love the top couple steps too. We set up cat trees and scratching posts and redirect them to those now. It's really helped.
Cats can be very peculiar when it comes to scratching posts. My cat wouldn't even look at a scratching post. I got my cat a corrugated scratching boards and she loves it.
My cat also loves to scratch the couch. I threw a blanket over the arm and my cat won't even touch it now. You have to use the environment to redirect cats behaviors.
