Hi,
We just got two 4-month old kittens (Ella and Mingus). We've only had them a few hours and so far they are very well behaved--using the litterbox and everything.
Ella seems to like scratching on the carpet. We've just been calmly picking her up when this happens and moving her to the scratching post or to a little on-the-floor scratcher thingy that we bought. But she hasn't scratched on those yet, she just walks away.
Any advice on how to deal with this? It's not a big deal yet but these are my first kittens so I want to make sure I train them right. We live in a rental apartment with wall-to-wall carpet, so if they mess it up it could get pretty expensive.
Thanks,
chris.
