I have given up on trying to get Blade to stop Scratching my bed. I have tried Bubble wrap, a balloon, and just plaing telling him NO. But he has totally distroyed one cornor of my box spring. I even went out and bought a Cat Condo for him to scratch on and had it right there by the part of the bed he scratches but he would knock it over and then scratch the bed. So the condo now sits in the living room for Willow to use. She's never had a problem with Scratching....she's always used the aproved scatching items we have. So this is totally new to me. Well not totally because I did get him to stop scratching the couch by using bubble wrap, but now he thinks that's fun to scratch. So once a month I put a thing of bubble wrap on one of our scratch pads for him to play with......Strange cat!!!! My SO want's to declaw him.....but I am totally against that! So I was looking into Soft paws.......But those are only last a little while. I am willing to buy them on a maybe once or twice basis but I was wondering what other options there are that might last a little bit longer. I figured I would ask all of you on here and seeing what suggestions I can get. I am at a loss right now, and can't deal with my bed being torn apart!

It is the most economical litter I have ever used. I only put a layer of litter in the pan that will cover half the pan. As the cats use it, it turns to sawdust. When its all dust you dump it....

This is probably the single most important toy I ever bought. I got it when my boy was a kitten and two years later, he still plays with it every day.
Other options?

DON'T GIVE UP! I'm sure someone will have better advice, but have you tried aluminum foil? Two-sided tape? Squirt bottle? Can full of coins to shake and startle him? Show him how to use the proper places and joyfully tell him what a good boy he is, maybe put catnip on them? Just a couple of quick thoughts..Please don't lose hope!
