throwdown


well, on saturday the new couch arrived via Carey and Jamie, who were kind enough to deliver it for me.

i'm happy to say it fit perfectly, and is quite comfy.

siesta expressed her approval within 5 minutes by going after the corner of the couch with her claws. game on.

so, here's the deal. i am going to get some padded placemats and pin them on the edges of the couch whilst we battle over a solution.

i have hit her DEAD ON with the water bottle about 3 times, she has sneak attacked about 5.

so, me - 3; sieta - 5.

she really hates the water though, so i'm thinking i just might win this one. today at noon i'm going to buy her a scratching post as a treaty offering.

any bets?

someone told me that make some kind of "stinky" stuff that you put on furniture that cats won't touch...it's only stinky to cats, i think, but you could ask your vet.

otherwise, i really hope you win this battle. i guess you could always make her wear shoes...

I feel like I'm missing something here. Like a whole week. This is the first I've heard about the new couch..

Good luck on that battle. I'm fighting the "no Easter candy until your homework is done" battle over here.

Love the couch, we have had the cat battle before on oour mattress and leather couch-grrrrr. I have used tin foil before-put it in big sheets, and then waved pieces at the cat, so it scares here, and she won't go near the pieces on the couch. Good luk

The couch is so nice. I love it. Keep up with the spraying. Cats do usually hate that. Bing on the other just sits there and gets wet. Like it's raining or something. K~
