Cat Scratch Fever

It was time to get new scratch pads for the dr. pepper wooden crates. Jimmy nails them to the crates and puts them right next to the fabric upholstered couch. It seems to be a very effective way of keeping the cats from clawing the couch. Frankly, the only one interested is little Lulu. But she prefers the scratch pads to the couch any day.

Even Felix uses the scratch pads. He doesn't have any front claws (taken away by his previous owners), but he still loves to scratch the pads. Something about it (leaving their scent?) is very satisfying even without the actual clawing going on.
