Hissy is always right. Just remember that.

I keep seeing posts from people asking how to get their cats to stop scratching the furniture or things that are not cat scratching posts. Hissy always tells us how much her cats love the turbo scratcher. Now, my Sam is a vertical scratcher, and has lots of places to go crazy (even though he is declawed). Bailey, on the other hand appears to be a horizontal scratcher. She only uses the carpet, and I don't mind, but it doesn't seem to do her a lot of good.

So I bought a turbo scratcher, brought it home, opened the package and put it on the floor. Sam went nuts. Scratched it, rolled around on it, lay on top of it with his paws spread out as if to say "This is mine!". Bailey took one look, went over, and tried to shove him out of the way. They have been fighting over it all evening.

So, once again, thanks for the advice Hissy, and Sam and Bailey thank you too. I will have to get another one tomorrow, so the pet store thanks you as well.

I'd love to try one of these. Where did you get it?

I got mine at PetsMart. I bet any good pet store would carry it.

my cats LOVE that too!!

You can get them fairly cheap at www.worldpetstore.com Two more just arrived today for my cats. I now have three upstairs and two downstairs and a whole slew of replacement pieces for the middle. it comes with catnip, but you really don't need it at all. Cats just go crazy for this toy/scratching pad.

I am glad your cats like it Sammie- I hope you bought replacement pieces if you are lucky with two cats, it will last a week!

Oh and I am not always right, but thanks for the vote of confidence!

Sounds neat! I'll have to try it!
