I got Jack when he was just 6 weeks, now he is 3 months. He not only scratches and bites but he jumps on the furniture and most recently the kitchen counter (which is nasty). How do I get him to stop?

my ccat just wont stop pleassseee help!




my cat is about 3 and weve tried everything to stop her from jumping on our kitchen table and scratching furniture.. weve bought " sticky paws" which is double sided tape that her paws stick gently to when she scratches the couch and she learned quickly not to do it. the table on the other hand is a whole other story. for soooo long weve been tapping her in the back end and spraying her with the squirt gun yelling and everything nothing helps! the squirt gun will get her off but she will jump back up in about 5 - 10 min if not sooner. after shes squirted for a while she considers it a bath and will basically laugh at me when i tell her to get down. i am pregnant and cant get up as often as i used to and its almost like she knows i wont get up and force her off the table so the more she does it.. so does anyone have any suggestions before this cat drives me crazy?>>>

Is IKEA ICRAPPA?




We have shopped IKEA for a few years now, and honestly, everything we have purchased except for some kitchen towels are crap…furniture has scratches, the glasses have chips or have broken and the rugs look gross. Now..we don’t have kids and I have a full time maid, so I know it’s not because we live more grossly than others. What do you think about IKEA?

How to make a kitten not be such a terror?




My husband and I got a kitten about a month ago. He is probably close to 3 months old. He hardly ever uses his litter box and when he does, he scratches majority of his litter out. We have a pug and an english bulldog in the house also. The cat plays with them, but when he has had enough he scratches up and down the furniture. He knocks stuff off our kitchen table and it seems like he is doing all of this because he knows it gets under our skins!! PLEASE HELP!!

I recently adopted a year-old kitty from a shelter. We already had a 7-year old cat, who is very friendly, docile and well-behaved. He has been with other cats before and is extremely tolerant.

The new kitty is boisterous and playful, which is accepted at his age. However, I am having trouble controlling him. He also hits the older cat in his playfulness. Some of these are severe scratches. The older guy only paws back in self-defense and mostly walks away from the little one’s assaults.

The little one also pays no heed to me or my husband - when we got him he was scared and insecure and we let him be for the first couple of weeks, so he could find his bearings before we imposed rules.

I really need to train the little one. We love his playfulness, but his bashing our older kitty is troubling us. We would also like to draw some limits (like he can’t sit on some of the furniture, or climb on kitchen counter tops and knock off food).

Any advice?

I have a light wood kitchen table that has a few good scratches in it. I am looking for an easy fix to this. I am not wanting to go all out and sand it down and refinish it. Also i have a good size scratch on my new stainless steel refrigerator. Any suggestions on how to get rid of it or not make it so obvious. All suggestions are welcomed.

How to fix cat scratches on kitchen chair seats?




We are a military couple and just recently got a kitten. We are using loner furniture and the kitten is clawing up the seats of the kitchen chairs. The seats are not plush but are not leather, it’s almost like a pleather.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix these scratches? I’ve seen things about using pigments to help but does that also work with non-leather materials?

Need someone who is good with antique furniture.?




My boyfriends dad is selling this old looking desk. It looks like an antique writing desk which has a black stamped leather top with gold pressed emblems on it in a pattern. It also has peg legs with very tiny wheels at the bottom and on the front has three drawers, two deep ones on the sides and one shallow long one in the middle. The wood is I think was you would call "dove tailed" or it is fitted like a puzzle piece and is solid wood.

I haven’t yet been able to take a picture of it but I did find a similar one online. It looks almost exactly as the one in the link except for there is no barred decoration below them.

What I’m wondering is around when it could have been made? I did find a serial number stamped on the bottom and also an inspector stamp but nothing else. I know the website says circa 1890 but I’m not sure.

He is willing to sell it to me for 0, I’m not so much interested in the real value but more in the look of it, but I would like to know maybe an estimate to see if I’m getting a deal or not. The condition is OK, a few scratches on the top from use and you can tell that someone tried to paint the edges in gold, and also the right drawer was very sticky but upon switching it with the other, it’s a bit smoother. Sorry for the long description, thank you (:

Here is the link to the similar one I found. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.elisabethjamesantiques.co.uk/new/productimages/victorian%2520walnut%2520writing%2520desk%2520by%2520jas%2520schoolbred%2520a_1163630426.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.elisabethjamesantiques.co.uk/Antique-Office-Furniture/antique-writing-desk-antique-19th-Century-ladies-writing-desk-by-JAS-Schoolbred.htm&usg=__6JQFfdWMI-N9OCwZH2Vas6Q5hNM=&h=375&w=500&sz=43&hl=en&start=11&tbnid=WJ9VtDhtgC60aM:&tbnh=98&tbnw=130&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dvictorian%2Bstyle%2Bwriting%2Bdesk%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DX
I also found another that has the exact same top with the circular edges. http://ebayimages.goantiques.com/dbimages/JVR5449/JVR5449U02120801.jpg
