Scratch
What’s up with our cats scratching everything they shouldn’t?
ASPCA’s article on Destructive Scratching
+ Great tips on how to keep cats from scratching what they shouldn’t, and how to “train them” to scratch what they should
+ Spoiler: put “legal” scratching things next to what you don’t want them to scratch. You can use different things to make scratching the couch or furniture undesirable, such as sandpaper, double-sided tape, or an upside-down vinyl carpet runner!

Our Go-To Scratching Post

Budgeting
Here are some ways you can help out our budget while still giving your cat everything they need!
Rakuten
+ Rakuten is a cash-back app I use when purchasing supplies for my cats. It is legit and offers 1%-10% back cash-back for purchases you already are going to make!
PetMeds
+ PetMeds is my favorite place to order cat food and medicine, specifically flea and tick medication. They have a great selection, and offer 35% off for auto-ship on top of occasional sales on our favorite food, Science Diet. (note I do not receive commission from PetMeds, this is my personal opinion only)
