Griffin is tearing up my new house. I can deal with him opening up all the cupboards, mewing all night and chomping down on anything he can find that's made of plastic. I should be used to that by now. What I'm not used to is his new desire to claw on the couch. Unacceptable! I even bought a new cat tree and spread catnip all over it, but the other day I heard him destructing the couch. Ugh! I love him (look at his adorable cat face) but if he keeps up this destructive behavior he's either going to be an outside cat or he's finding a new home...and I'm not happy with either of those options.

Try putting clear packing tape over the spots on the couch he likes to scratch. He won't be able to get traction for his claws on it, and that may deter him.

If he really won't quit, then Soft Paws are supposed to work like a charm. I've been thinking about getting them for Malcolm -- he gets upset and scratches the carpet outside my bedroom door if I close it at night, and it's starting to look like he's digging a hole to China out there.

What? Let him scratch the sofa. You can always get a new sofa, but never a new Griffy.

Or, like Vanessa said, soft paws. They are wonderful. I used to get them until I don't love my sofa anymore.

I agree with Soft Paws! Twinkie might have to get some because she is scratching our leather couch!

You should get pink ones for Griffing for punishment.

Whatever... I am saying put the cat outside!!!! He has been harassing you forever and I say, put him outside, get over the guilt and sleep nicely :-)

Love you... and Griff, but enough is enough!!
