I live with Leah's two cats: Edward and Maybeline. Edward loves to cuddle and Maybeline (or Maybe or even just May) keeps more to herself. And even though Edward us more than twice her size, Maybe's in charge.
A few months ago, we bought the cats a cardboard scratching board. They both used it at first, but Maybe made it clear that it was hers and was often seen just sitting on the board. Since Edward wasn't allowed to scratch on the board, he'd scratch other things. Because Maybe wouldn't share, we bought Edward his own scratching board. He used it a couple of times before Maybe marked it as hers by urinating on it. We threw it away and looked for other things that Edward could scratch.
This past weekend, I ordered a small cat tree from Amazon. It arrived yesterday, but neither cat was terribly interested. So, after work today, I rubbed it down with some catnip. That seems to have been the missing element because Edward spent a lot of time with it this evening.
Hopefully this means that he'll finally leave the couch alone.
