He gets stuck on anything and everything when he uses his claws. Blankets, couch, cat toys… He has other posts not as wooly as this that he’ll be on. Agreed I do need to shave and refinish this post though
Sisal carpet is better than rope for cats is my understanding. There are some places online that sell carpet remnants for cats. You can just hot glue the carpet to a cardboard tube on or an existing cat post.
My poor late kitty could never fully retract her claws.
As a kitten, she'd catch a claw on the carpet, somersault, and scream until I freed her. This continued through adult hood, minus the screaming. She'd just flop on her side and tug until she freed herself.
She ended up with bad arthritis in her old age. I long expected she had some defect in her front claws, but she was an absolute disaster at the vets, so I never got a diagnosis.
Yeah, my calico is super careful to never extend her claws when playing with me, but she will get her claws in her toys and just look at me or flail wildly until it flys away, even with her nails trimmed 😂
my cat didn't learn to unhook her claws until she lived with other cats and could see how they did it. was cute how much she learned from living around them for a while
This one has a 50/50 shot if the door already open a crack. He always pulls the door towards him and will get confused when he’s blocking the door from opening further.
