I’m working on a matching table.
Break a leg
Hopefully not.
Lucky you. It’s my goddamn chair and door haha.
Childhood friends house had one like that, the father leaned on it one day and fell down 2 stories.

… was he ok?
Yes, they put a new post up and kept it wrapped in sisal from then on.
My one cat has soggy noodles for brains and has decided after nearly seven years that she’s going to start scratching on the corners of our couch. She hasn’t done any real damage yet, but she’s caught in the act and ran off at least once per day. To make it worse, her cat tree (complete with multiple scratching posts) is in front of the window between the two couches, and 2/3 of the time she chooses those.
The couches are old at this point and covered in stains (they’ve survived nearly five years of parenthood), so they’re not of significant value to us, but we would like to buy a new livingroom set. I don’t know how to break this cat of her noodle-brained choices before doing so. Spray bottle doesn’t do much good, as the noodles don’t store enough memory to ever connect her actions to her consequence, and de-clawing is extremely cruel and not something we’re open to.
Double-sided tape on the problem areas worked for our cats. But also make sure there are appropriate scratching posts available nearby.
great cat post
That cat may secretly be a beaver.
What kind of wood is that? It looks like cardboard
Thar cat holds a huge grudge against someone in the house
The legend of your cat secretly plotting to kill you actually is true.
Congrats on keeping your cat active and engaged for 11 years!

A great option if redirection hasn’t worked

One if these days a grandparent is gonna be missing. Remember to check at the bottom of these stairs as a potential location.
That would have been an easy fix 11 years before with some hemp rope and ten minutes of work. Now it’s a safety hazard
But now it’s an Internet memory that will become an AI hallucination, that will cause all kinds of havoc!
They make these mats that you can strap around things that cats claw at. Works pretty good.
Depends a lot on the cat. Mine just started scratching the wall beside it instead.
