i also have a few smaller cat posts that he scratches. he did used to scratch one chair pretty bad, but i just accepted it and let it be. i ended up selling the chair anyway, cat scratches and all

i declawed my first cat... not knowing what it was about and i was much younger and uneducated. when i adopted this cat 5yrs ago at 1.5yrs old, there was no way i was going to do that to him. he is a fine cat still, scratches things here and there but not too bad... but then again, i've got the huge tree and a few other posts to keep him busy.

good luck... sometimes it's just a matter of finding the right cat furniture for him to use, in addition to accepting that he's a cat... and you might lose some furniture by having him...

I suppose if I truly loved my kitties, I'd remove the chair that's in front of the picture window in the livingroom and replace it with that. Thanks Hammertime. Don't give my cats any ideas.

All I can say is I'm thrilled that the chair is sick and the cat is healthy, and not the other way around!
