Maybe you're cat's like mine... he just lives to climb and scratch. He would scratch anything that stood still but his favorite thing was my sofa!
It looked like a full grown Lion had mistaken it for a Zebra or something. When friends would drop by I was always embarrassed to invite them to sit down because it was so bad.
And getting something new was out of the question because he'd just scratch that up too. Why spend money on something that would just get destroyed?
My vet suggested I get a cat condo for him to play on instead of my furniture. So I started shopping around and was horrified by the price pet stores were asking for cat furniture. Not only was it expensive, it was ugly and didn't seem very stable or safe to me.
Next I looked online and found some absolutely gorgeous cat trees but MAN were they expensive. One was well over $2.000! Now I love my cat but the sofa I want doesn't even cost that much. That's just more than I an afford to spend on cat furniture.
