Cheap Cat Furniture
Cat furniture, cat trees and cat condos are great additions to a cat lover's home, as they provide hours of good fun for the feline companions and keep your own furniture intact.
Cat scratching is a perfectly normal behavior for a cat, and if your cat is scratching a chair or your favorite couch, then you just need to somehow re-direct his or her scratching to other, more appropriate objects.
The consensus from the various Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) is that de-clawing is cruel and unnecessary. I can only agree with this conclusion. However, if you feel that you must either declaw your cat or give her up, we would rather see your cat stay in her home and be your lifelong companion. I only ask that you do not make this decision lightly and just be absolutely sure that you will not change your mind later about keeping your indoor cat once you have it declawed.
You can use nail caps for the cat's front paws as an alternative to getting the cat de-clawed. This is a much more humane choice and it does work to protect the furniture. Just make sure you do not use nail caps on a cat that goes outside, as it will have no defense.
Most pet shops offer different selections of cat scratch posts from which to choose. Some have carpet or rug material on wooden posts and bases. Others are made of rope which is wrapped around the post or pole.
Then there are cat towers and cat trees which are great for the cat to climb and play besides being there for scratching purposes.
Other people like to design their own and make them themselves. This is another option for you as well. Besides going to your local pet store, you can look online for these different cat trees, towers and scratch posts.
One thing that can work well if your cat is still scratching the furniture is to spray some citrus oil on the chair or the couch that they are attacking. This is a good deterrent that usually works quite effectively.

Why are you lion like this about me? You really hurt my felines.
There’s a claws in my kitty adoption papers that entitles me to use your Master card to purrchase kitty toys. All you’ve ever given me is that stupid ball of yarn that I keep batting away. Darn it, I can’t even knit! What’s wrong with you?
You’re dumb.
obviously you are bored, try Myspace…………
Beware of Cat Burglars!!!
Do it!
Tattle on that thief!
Haha lol, good one dude. Yea, ttly call lol, they’ll take him away in paw-cuffs.
Call your credit card company.
cours kute kitty did
That’s purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrfect. <3
call them and tell them you are slow and that you need help on your common sense level
hahahahahahahah!
call an ambulance you need hospitalization
WHY YES YOU SHOULD!!! HE SOUNDS LIKE A CAT BURGLAR!!!
darn cat-burglar!
Yes. And maybe a pschyciatrist too.
did you escape from mental hospital
if you’re really bored, then why don’t you go out?
but i really think this shoudl be reported
*gives a shifty look*
What a crackpot. you’re an idiot. but at least it got a kick out of me.
idiot.
i would call the fire department. naughty little kitty.
oh my goodness….This calls for "SMACKACATMAN"…I do house calls for a reasonable fee….
Call animal control
It’s pointless. The police are powerless to intervene, as your cat almost certainly has feline immunity. You may like to get in touch with the Cat Embassy, but I wouldn’t hope for much.
WHAT!?!
Is that the same damn cat that made all those 900 number calls on my cell phone? You tell him I have been looking for him for quite some time….and he best watch his hissy furry back, too. I’ve already turned my case into The People’s Court and I know Judge Milian only likes DOGS!
Just tighten the collar, as tight as you can. lol Call the pound, that oughta teach em’! lol
lol dang cat yeah u sould call the cops
or
shoot him
then get a dog
call 1-800-my-cat-stole-my-credit-card
wow they really do have a 1-800 # for everything now days
No, call "The Big Cheese", he’ll round up hundreds of mice to beat the cat senseless.
Did he buy them on-line? If so, you can claim credit card fraud.
Your cat told me he’s got your credit card number memorized. May I borrow your cat?
Well obviously you are bored out of your mind. Try another website!!! P.S Nice joke though!!
I don’t think so but I would certainly think twice about giving him any of those oh so good fishy treats.
yes that happened to me before excpet it was my cats boyfriend that stole my card.Then he bought me a nice daimiond necklace to say sorry. I took then sued him for all he had!!!
No. The cat will lie.
good one. good one
u wont have to pay because that’s identity theft
All "pussey" deserves some credit, what toys did it buy?
No just shoot it with an air soft gun. He/she will learn their lesson, and you will feel a lot better.
Yes. And explain to them how all this happened.
well at least 2 people can handle a joke. This Yahoo answers site stinks…
"You’re dumb."
"Try myspace."
Try not answering the question if you don’t like the joke.Move on. People are no fun here.By the way yes call the Police maybe they’ll tase the cat. That would be fun to hear.
More than 2 now…Those other people are still lame.
i think maybe your cat needs therapy-if you go to the police she might be banged up and can you live without her? Is it possible you have hurt her feelings and she is trying to get her own back ? -at least she didnt burn your house down-communication is the answer- i wish you both well
Nah I bet he bought your Christmas present too!
No don’t call the police, this is obviously a case of late stage feline dementia.
Return the cat toys to receive refunds where possible.
Provide the poor kitty with 24/7 care – loving, kind, protection with plenty of treats and petting. Make him feel safe and loved. Your time is limited – you may only have a few more decades with this tormented kitty, don’t waste a moment! Spend all your time with him. Take lots of pics.
Provide lots of stimulation to slow the decline. Bird on a stick (that floof of feathers on a flexible stick), catnip mouses, laser red lights are all important therapeutic tools. Apply all liberally.
Good luck, and remember not to let the poor critter wander – it’s not safe! He might get lost and not be able to tell anyone where he lives. Demented cats often wander around lost for days!
I’m sorry but that is funny!!!! LOL
yes. there is a special branch of pussycat police that pay extra special attention to pussycat problems. I heard that onl last week in LA the pussycat police picked up a women that was beating her pussycat so bad the neighbor heard what sounded like screams (probably the pussycat). I myself must admit to licking a pussycat or two in my time. Some times they just need it.
Once I was at a night club and saw a very young pussycat, just beyond being a kitten, and I aproached her (they tend to be afraid of strangers in the night) and I gave her something to drink to calm her down. How does a young pussycatget into an Over 21 NightClub? Once calm I petted her a bit and eventually made her think I was her friend. After a few drinks I got her out of that club (A young pussycat can get damaged in a club) and took her home. I kept her for about a week and then one day she was gone.
I miss that pussycat.
Absolutely, and that cat thief should be punished further by no catnip for a year!
The nerve of some cats…………..ungrateful mew mew!
grrrrrr……….
Nah, just take away his catnip ( kittywana) & punish him that way. Give him one more chance, we all need a break in this life !
I guess it’s Merry Christmas for your cat!!
yes, because the next thing you know he will be sticking up gasoline stations for money for catnip.
Katy did it again, she stole my answer so now I gotta deal with two thieves. lol
