Softclaws day 4
I have to say that I'm impressed with Softclaws so far. I put them on
Wednesday evening and they are still on. Both cats seem indifferent to them. They don't fix one problem. One of them likes to scratch on things just to hear the noise. He always picks something hollow like cheap doors or my mame cab. It is only at night when I am trying to go to sleep. Any ideas on how to fix this? -- Mark Heaely marknews(at)healeyonline(dot)com |

I don't have any idea what a mame cab is -- can it be locked away? It is an old school video game cabinet with real arcade quality controls and a PC with emulator software inside to play the great old games the way they were meant to be played, standing up. It is mostly hollow so when he starts scratching on it it makes quite a bit of noise. He also goes for the hollow core doors. -- Mark Heaely marknews(at)healeyonline(dot)com |

Our hollow interior doors have a urethane finish so I could probably get
away with applying the sticky backed velcro and hanging a piece of carpeting that kitty could scratch on but that might muffle the sound. You might be able to wrap the cabinet in something like that as well. If you have painted doors OTOH the adhesive backing on the velcro might damage the finish. W "Mark Healey" wrote in message ....

Earplugs? :-) Laura That was a very strange reply Laura. Besides, it can't work. No cat is going to leave earplugs in. And were would you be able to find little bitty ear plugs for them? I have seen reindeer antlers and such, but never earplugs. Could the problem be that the cat has seen too many tapdance movies and wants to join in?

But cats have BIG ears, so I think a pair of socks would work just fine, don't you? Hmm. Maybe just earmuffs, then... My thought exactly. Great minds. |
