HI everyone!
Okay here is my problem.... My 6 month old Siamese mix, Marie will scratch the carpet at my bedroom door. Its started when she was not allowed in our bedroom at night with us because she would not just pick one spot and sleep... she was all over us, padding, purring, meowing, trying to lick our faces; and for my hubby who works two jobs this was just not a good thing. ;-) So now here is the twist because i'm sure all of you who is reading this are thinking... get a scratching post.... she has one and uses it all the time, she loves it!
I have used the stinky boundry spray, We have used a spray bottle with water to squirt her in the act and i have poured vinegar all over the entryway to the bedroom and she will still srcatch. but now she has started doing it at 5 am and will meow at the door while doing it. As soon as the door is open she will fly in and jump on the bed and start acting all sweet and innocent but will then go back to the carpet and scratch.
Did i mention that we rent our place and there now seems no hope of getting our deposit back!!! UUUGGG I'm wiccan so i dont want to bring any heavy chemicals into the house... the Boundry stuff was horrible and i threw it out. I want to use natural things to stop this so any and all suggestions will be awesome to hear and to possibly try out. Marie is as sweet as can be and thankfully Jack our two year old Egyptian Mau knows better then to do that. PLEASE HELP!!!
