I am not amused.

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten is a good cat…. for the most part. When we first adopted him he had an annoying habit of scratching the furniture but my purchase and rapid deployment of a tiny water pistol solved that problem lickety split. His highness does not like to get wet.

.

.

Well, it wasn’t swift. But lately, I have to say…. it’s been quite thorough. Instead of scratching the furniture? He’s decided to unravel our Berber carpet one loop at a time.

.

.

Every morning I wake up to new section of destruction….

.

.

And I have to say, I am not pleased.

Lord Dudley?

.

.

He denies everything and points at my husband.

We don’t have a dog… the cat has to blame someone.

.

An adventure with weed.

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten is sweet…. but his less than sweet claws are doing a number on our rugs and furniture so I purchased yet another scratching post for the furry little peckerwood him.

.

.

It’s part carpet.. since he pulls the loops out of our Berber on a daily basis.. and part sisal. What cat wouldn’t want to scratch that?

Turns out… our cat. Because his Royal Highness wouldn’t touch it. Walked right by it without so much as a glance. Which meant it was time to bring in the big guns.

.

.

Yes, I hosed that thing down with Meowijuana.

.

Righteous chronic dude.

.

And while it definitely attracted him.. all he did was rub it until it fell over.

.

.

He hugged it.

.

.

He sat on it.

.

.

He draped himself all over it. What the loopy bastard wouldn’t do was scratch it.

.

One very happy tatter.

.

15 minutes later? You be the judge.

.

.

I’m going with stoned.

P.S. …. apologies for the silly voice overs. I tell myself not to do that, and then do it every time.

.

He didn’t get the memo.

.

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.
