Lord Dudley Mountcatten is a well behaved cat. He’s a dainty eater who doesn’t bite, howl or beg. He does however scratch the furniture on occasion. Wanting to nip this habit in the bud, I purchased numerous scratch worthy substitutes…. none of which have worked.
.
.
This is the latest, and his highness has absolutely no idea what to do with it.

Enter a little well placed chronic.

Scattering catnip on the scratcher elicited a response…
.
.
But it wasn’t the one I’d hoped for.
.

After rolling his entire body over it and becoming dusted in weed?
.
.
He didn’t scratch, he napped.
Good thing he’s cute…. because he’s kind of clueless.

River's world..... 
Clueless but beautiful. 😀

I like your cat but ruining furniture? Not cool, Lord Dudley.

He’s given up on the furniture now and has targeted a rug. An old rug, and much easier to replace.

You can put this in front of the areas Lord Dudley likes to scratch.

I had one like that. Moved it from place to place…. and wherever I moved it? He moved elsewhere.

My cats like cardboard boxes for scratching. Works out pretty good since we order a lot from Amazon.

Dudley is a very odd cat. He doesn’t like bags or boxes.

Lord Mountcatten is saying yes to nip, but no to scratch pads. Charlie didn’t go for the the scratch post, pad or rug. He did however go to town on my yoga mat…..🙄.

I’ve deterred him from the furniture but there’s a rug in the living room that I fear is destined for shredding….

I did! Got down on my hands and (bad) knees and scratched it like a lunatic.

I don’t have experience with cats as I’ve only had dogs but as I get older, I’m really loving cats more and more. If I didn’t have allergies, I’d adopt one.
Yours is so cute.

I love all animals and we’ve had our share of dogs. But there’s just something about kitties….
