I had the emery cat scratcher also
I had 4 cats at the time none of them would use it.
The old man would lay on it. I kept it for a few months and gave it to a friend.
She has 4 cats. she said one uses it and he only likes the corners
She said she thinks it makes his claws sharper !
That double sided tape works. not on wood without ruining it unfortunately
My one little brat claws everything
headboard footboard side wood railing on bed frame
dinning room chairs ,speakers.the rug
I yell I squirt she doesn't care she waits till I start running across the room to get her before she stops/ runs.then when I sit back down she goes back and does it again just so she gets the last word...
she only lets me cut her nails if shes in a deep sleep,after a few clips she wake up and takes off. never get them all and I started trimming since she was a kitten
The old man tries to bite me.I have to wait till hes asleep clip one and move my hand away quick before I get bit and scratched.
The others will not ever let me pet their paws
They have 4 extra wide cardboard scratchers ,2 6ft towers
2 of those flat sisal pads, my Angel/Devil still prefers something to get mommy's attention
I also had one of those short scratchier, they didn't use it
