Best audio cabinet for people with pets

If you have house cats and no dogs, trim the nails on the cats front feet. If you don't know how ask your vet. Its quick and easy. Done every couple of weeks will minimize not only the scratching activity but the damage sharp nails can inflict.

Don't overlook the value of scratching posts with rope. My cats seem to use scratching as a means of getting my attention. I keep a scratching post in each room near where i sit and they get a lot of punishment.

As Tvad said nothing is a perfect solution but this has helped me. My biggest problem has been what these big creatures do when they are racing about roughhousing. I've learned to apply foresight as in 'childproofing' works some.

They should be more thankful - that we love them!

Bob, If you're going to buy scratching posts get the ones that have siesel(Sp?)rope wrapped around the post. 2 1/2 to 3 ft tall. If you have one that is just carpet covered pick up some rope at Home Depot and wrap it.

If you haven't already done so, cats love toys. One of my cats particularily loves the small grey leather mice and she treats them like real mice. She hunts them (in the toy box) and hides them, etc. Funny part is that she loves to play retrieve just like a dog. What is unique for her is that she will start the game (regularily) and will keep it up for 10 to 15 minutes. What a gas! Small 'hairy' balls are also a great item. The hair is a fine tinsel like fuzz. The cats love to bat them around.

Have fun!
