Oh my, Mr. Zeus sure did bounce overnight. Poor little guy, Hope he clears it quickly.

The kitties were being crazy this morning before the alarm. Someone was busy scratching away, though I couldn't tell if it was one of the appropriate scratchers or if it was the furniture... Zeus has been scratching the furniture off and on. I don't know how to get him to stop. Smokey was playing with her toys and meowing. Then they chased each other around for a while, followed by Zeus licking the wall in my bedroom. Did I mention I hate that sound? LOL.

Breakfast has been eaten, presents left in the LB, and they have gone btb.

Hugs and healing vines to all that need them. Have a great day,
Kathie

Come down Zeus! It's a Sunday & you got to clear it soon,K!
Kathie, some cat is vertical scratcher, some horizontal scratcher. I got different types of scratch board, cat trees to suit my 21. So far, all my furnitures are spared.
Recently I got a small kids wicker chair (very cheap in price too!) from iKea. Some of my cats love to scratch on it! Maybe you can try that.

Licking the bedroom walls?!? Eeesh - I've never heard of that! Any idea why?

I'm having trouble with the scratching furniture thing too. I've tried to teach him by moving his paws on it, but he gets annoyed. He has horizontal and a diagonal scratcher and both get catnip put on them. I didn't think of the wicker chair idea.
 
Re: 11/25 Zeus AMPS 450

I have three vertical scratchers, all with different textures, as well as a flat horizontal one. There is another that is kind of a half circle with a mat to lay on. He doesn't really care about any of them. I do have two others, they are kind of S shaped, if it was on its side... Kind of like this symbol ~ he actually really likes those, he likes to lay in the valley of the open curve and scratches in exactly two spots at the top of the curve. And then he and Smokey swat at each other through the underneath curve part. Smokey likes, and uses all of the scratchers, including the one that Zeus loves.

The scratchers are scattered around, and I have even tried putting them near where Zeus would scratch. Lisa, I tried the paw thing too with the same results that you got. :smile:

I have not tried wicker... I will have to see what I can find.

@ Lisa, I don't know what the licking is about.... Although I suspect it is just to irritate me. ;-) He doesn't do it every day, but many times he seems to do it in the morning before the alarm goes off. But he does it at other times too, and it isn't just the bedroom walls, it's the dresser, and the doors, and the stairs that I bought Smokey so she can get up on the bed. I have even caught him licking his carrier. I really don't know why he does it, but has done so since the day that I adopted him. I mentioned It to the vet, who just laughed. My family says he is "special" :lol:
