Showing this to my cats to see if they stop scratching the sofa

[–] Mvlad88@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Put a blanket over the place that she scratches and/or a scratching pole somewhere near the sofa.

Generally the more scratching poles (or carpets on the floor) they have to scratch, the less they mess with furniture.

They mention animals that are frequently raised as livestock. Chickens, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs are all mentioned. Horse is the only unusual one to me. I'd find it much more upsetting if they were accepting cats and dogs.

-Coincidentally I watched two YT videos yesterday. One was about some homesteaders that were dispatching chickens they raised for meat to share with their village. The other was about some small-time farmers that raise guinea-pigs (among other things) that were used for lawn-mowing. The farmers just anounced in that video that the guinea pigs will also be used as a food source.
