Title: If I could tape their claws up .........
Post by: Michelle (furbabystar) on June 20, 2010, 09:17:05 AM: The day before Doris was dumped with Me I had 2 beautiful black leather sofas delivered
Now I gotta be honest if declawing wasn't painful and babaric ........ :shify:

Between Doris and Dooey (who has now remembered he is a kitten) it is scratched to death :censored:
I have just had to throw the pair of them out of the lounge (the cats not the sofas lol)

Grrrrrrrrr

Bungly always did the sofa corners some times and i noticed Fifi doing it too on a few occasions -they haven''t touched the newish leather one yet though -its the old comfy material one i haven''t been able to part with yet !

Hamish and Misty between them destroyed 7 settee's , 1x Bed Settee, 1x cover on duvan bed base, and 3 carpets :doh:
apart from the Carpets, all the outher things were iether Free or Very Cheap :sneaky:

We bought a new leather settee, and was worried that Olivia might cluck it :scared:
But she is a wee Princess and Only bad uses Her Scratch Tree :wow: only damage incured has be accidental :shocked:

you do get these rubber cover's for claws though, dont know if any member's here have tried em tho ??

Yep. Bothers my partner more than me....I'd just whack a throw over it, but he'd rather not have to, so it gets dosed with Pet Behave Spray on a regular basis.....
