Well, I cut her claws last night, and hopefully that will help. Normally she only ever used the scratchers that I bought, and never used the furniture! Sophie is my destructive girl when it came to that, but lately it's just been the corners of the walls. I'll have to check her claws and Boris' too, maybe get some more scratching boxes and then the Sticky Paws tape stuff. I don't think the vaseline would be for me. I'd have cats slipping here and there, and it would track around the house and collect more dirt and hair.
