Mine doesn't either and she fusses while I'm trimming. But I keep telling her she'll get a treat so she puts up with it.
Check out this scratching post, I've been using them for almost 10 years now and I'm still on the second one. Once the post itself becomes shredded (it takes years), you can order a new one without having to purchase another base......
Wow! Thanks. I’d like to get Snowy a new upright post. The one he has is worn out. He still uses his floor model though. :)
