Behavior & Training > how to keep a cat from scratching the funiture?
Cookie

Can we play??
 
 
Purred: Sat May 18, '13 10:03pm PST 
When we got Cookie at the age of three, she used the cardboard scratchers at her birth home. We only have the carpeted scratching posts. But she started to use the Lazyboy chairs as her scratching post. I got her a new cardboard one. And to get her away from the Lazyboy chairs, I got an idea!! I bought cheap packing tape, it was $0.99 a roll. I completely cover the bottom half of the furniture with the cheap tape. It took me half hour to tape one chair and used half a roll of tape. Still not enough scratcher. I bought more & more. We have some cardboard ones that are at 90 degree ans one 180 and one at a 45 degree angle. They are all over the house. You may have to buy at least one of every type of scratching post if you can. The winner will be know in a few weeks. Then you have run out and get more of them. (I got some at Big Lots on the 20% weekends sale they have.)

I thought of using the claw nail caps. Thought they were much work. But Cookie gave up on clawing the furniture after 10 months. I completely removed all of the tape!

Here my list of what I have for three cats: one carpet post in the basement (the oldest one that sheds before I end up throwing it away.) On the main level, I have 2 carpet posts, 1 condo carpeted furniture (homemade), 1 pedestalled carpeted bed (homemade), 1 carpeted tunnel, 1 "S' cardboard scratcher, 2 cardboard benches that I hot glued to make one large one (They lay on it in the summer to keep cool), 1 single cardboard bench and 1 over the door knob cardboard scratcher. They are all over the house. More is always better once you find the right one.

I trimmed Cookie's nails more often the first year we had her too. I praise the cats when they use the scratchers. They love the attention. We got Candie the following year. Since we had all the scratcher she liked, she did not even try to claw the furniture. Candie really loves the praise & petting I give her to use the scratchers. I sit on the floor too and play with them. I make a point to have the scratchers in the play area too.

Saw this brand online. Started to look at ingredients. Got puzzled on beef pizzle. The Beefa-Palooza said it has real bully sticks aka pizzle. I googled it. eek OMG! eek Now I know what bully sticks are for dogs! dog At least pizzle is not a beef by-product item.

From food with porcupine plasma now to beef pizzle. Very interesting ingredients.

Can we play??

They are the Signature Selects. Lots of Shredded, Chunks and Flaked meats. 2.8 oz or 5.3 oz cans, I guess to keep the price down. Must be the in thing to print the can label on the cans upside down. I'd like to try the turkey with chicken one. I'm hoping Petco has a coupon for a free one.

I'm not understanding the issue with vitamin K. Please tell me more. The other nice cat parents will be here soon about dental vs. wet or dry food. But read the other post for food on a budget.

(My mom had a partial knee replacement that resulted in a DVT to a PE. So I know about a reduced vitamin K diets while you are on blood thinners. Forgive me but I hated driving her for the weekly visits to test her blood for six months. So if any of your family members get joint replacements or broken bones look for shortness of breath. Call 911 because it is a blood clot!)

Here one of the post from TotallyTarget.com today that can save you money.
$2/1 Arm & Hammer cat litter 18-lb. or larger Target Coupon x6/8
-$2/2 Arm & Hammer Clumping Cat Litter 1-20-13 SS x7/31
-.50/1 Arm & Hammer Cat Litter on Facebook or share for a $3.50/1 x12/31
-$2/2 Arm & Hammer Clumping Cat Litter
The top line is a Target coupon that she has a link all you have to do is click and print. The last three are from the newspaper or where online you can print. If they are online she adds the link like the last two on this one. So think you can get $5.50 off a box of Arm & Hammer cat litter.

If you get the weekend newspaper, a good ref. source is couponcadet.com. The new Petco ad is out.

10% of AvoDerm weight management
There is an online $5 coupon
plus the $5 off Petco adoption weekend coupon

$3 off 5-7 lb Blue Buffalo Spa or 10% off BB Longevity

Remember, let say your bag is 21.99 at the full price. You will need to buy 3.01 more you use the Petco adoption weekend coupon. So this month only Science Diet is a super sale. Ugh.... Hope for a better sale next month.

PS, Purina One was $3 off on the 6-7 lbs bags & Purina.com has a $1.75 off coupon with two free 3 oz cans of wet food. More is on sale but I could not see a coupon fast & easy to match up. So hunt & look for yourself. Good Luck! Now, I need a nap!

The Memorial holiday will bring more sales. I'll post for you the dry food super deal at Petco during the adoption weekend. You did not post your location so I could not see if some of your local store run deals too. Pet Supermarket has coupons $2 off $10 & Pet Supplies Plus has a $5 birthday coupon.

I feed both dry and wet too.

Most on the forum will say do all wet. Friskies pate style will get your cat an all wet diet without breaking the bank. They sell it in big cans too. Petsmart has a really good Black Friday sale on it, Fancy Feast & Tidy Cat litter. I buy a ton of stuff on that sale & save a ton of money. (Buy the litter one bucket at a time & the $5 coupon comes out. Then I use it on the next order until I get enough litter for the entire year. I use the final $5 coupon on my Friskies canned.) So save every dime for the Black Friday sale at Petsmart!

The cheapest Grain Free kibble is Taste of the Wild. My cat did not like it. I got samples & tried it before buying it. Call Diamond for samples. Places like Tractor Supply Co. or Rural King sell it to at a cheaper price. Got a feed store nearby? Diamond pet food has other dry foods if you are looking for cheap, Diamond Natural or Chicken Soup for the Soul. At one time the Kirkland brand at Costco was made by Diamond pet food. Got a friend with a Costco card?

I search the Petco ad every month for the deals during their adoption weekend that I can stack a sale price with a manufacture coupon & the Petco adoption. Yes, they let you use a manufacture coupon with the Petco Adoption coupon. I'll paste the link at the bottom to be printed every month! The $25 you must buy is the full price before the sale price & before the coupons. My sister bought $28 of kibble & paid $13 for 7.5 lb during the April Adoption weekend. Petco has deals on Nutro Max sometimes too which is better than Nutro Natural. Canyon Creek Ranch kibble give coupons too. It is made by Nestle Purina.

If you pick a brand like Instinct or Wellness, sign up for emails. They send coupons. Make sure you use the perk cards at Petco & Petsmart. They mail coupons based on your brand loyalty. Facebook has coupons too like Petsmart. Even Petco.com has monthly coupons.

Target lets you stack a manufacture coupon with a Target coupon. Follow people like TotallyTarget.com to help you save money for your & your pet's needs.
