A little while back it occurred to me: The cats aren’t trying to scratch the crap out of the couch or their scrating pads anymore.

Last September the wife and I became parents to two little black and white sister kittens. They were, as kittens tend to be, playful, rambunctious, curious… scratchy. At the slightest provocation the little kitten claws were out and embedded in whatever had grabbed their attention. We’ve had cats before these two and we know that cats just love to scratch and destroy things, especially couches. To help mitigate some of that kitten vs. couch aggression we purchased a bunch of cat scratch pads and had one in almost every room in the house.
