I am new to this wonderful site and a new kitty owner. I have 2 kitties that I found about 4 wks ago in the loft of my barn. The mother was taking care of them until I rescued them from a wild Tom that killed 3 of them. I brought the last 2 into my breezeway for safety 3 weeks ago. When Dh found these babies, I have started feeding and messing with all 5 when they where about 3 weeks old so these 2 (Butterbean, and Cheech) are friendly now.They are 7weeks now. Since the weather here in TX is getting hot, I started bringing them inside. Boy are these active..lol. I have toys for them, DH made a scratching post with carpet and sisal with a platform on top. I bought a super scratcher for them too that is the cardboard type. But what they prefer are my throw rugs. They will not use the scratchers. I have put catnap on it as well. What can I do to discourage them from ruining my rug?
