Hi Trish and Face!
We have three cats who have all their claws, and we live with the damage.
They do have all sorts of places where they’re allowed to scratch, such as the 7’ cat condo we built for them and several kitty caves
and other plush, upholstered just-for-the-cat places to sleep and/or sit and scratch.
It works out pretty well. Thank goodness Vellux blankets are cheap. They can really tear them up, but we just toss ‘em and buy more
to cover the stuff we don’t want torn up and/or covered with cat hair.
What a good cat mommy you are!!!
There are all kinds of ways to deal with kittehs! One never needs to be cruel or ignorant. One just needs to be educated! And you and your hubby have obviously taken pains to BE educated! Fangs!
*hug*
Hi, TOL! You should see our house, and we don’t even have cats! Joey has chewed chunks out of one of the windowsills and we have tooth marks from puppies on some of the lower furniture. Animals of any kind tend to cause damage, one way or the other.
