Playground Furniture

My cat, Odie is full of energy and loves to climb on the furniture in my apartment. It does not bother me, except leather furniture and the cost is $ 3,000 (I did not choose, my boyfriend did). We got her declawed in front, but these claws back again leave unpleasant marks. We just received a dining table and she thinks that is his new playground. We have pretty well kept out by putting the tape down on the table and chairs, so if she jumps on the table, she gets tape on its paws. However, she always jumps on the leather sofa and loveseat. A spray bottle does not contribute to cause enough harm has come the leather and I do not want to cause more to get wet every time she jumps on it. We can not put his head down on the tape because, well, we need a place to sit! We tried to jump and say no. What other ways?
And the flea problem is horrible. How can we get all the fleas off of her and our apartment? (We tried Dawn dish soap)

The best way to keep off the furniture is to provide other places where it is allowed to rise very high. Buy or build cat trees to climb up to it. If space is a concern, http://www.iroquoisinnovations.com has cat trees Nice fit right into the wall and takes no floor space. Cats have an instinctive natural desire to ride high, so unless you provide it to other climbing sites, it will be very difficult to keep off furniture.

To keep his claws back to damage the leather sofa, try softpaws nail caps: http://www.softpaws.com

In this way, it will be able to jump on the sofa and chairs without damage. She jumped up there to be near you - the caps on his nails will enable this close without damaging your furniture or your dealings with it to explode, and it will spray liquid. Punishing your cat for a normal feline behavior can create problems of others' behavior.

For chips, the most effective remedy is to go to your vet and get advantage or Frontline Top Spot. This is a very easy and much safer for you and your pet that sprays against fleas or powders. All you have to do is apply a bottle of drops on the neck of your cat once a month. Fleas will die within a day or two. Wash all bedding and vacuum your flat-bottomed, and when you have finished sealing the vacuum bag in a plastic bag and throw it outside to avoid any hatching eggs and fleas out of the bag to explore the vacuum. That should do it! You do not need to use poisons around your house to kill them - the combination of physical removal of eggs by washing and vacuuming and Top Spot or Advantage on your cat will stop bullets. Use Advantage or Frontline from your vet - DO NOT use the space ons, bullets or necklaces to the store because they can make your cat very sick or kill her. Cats are extremely sensitive to pesticides.

Hope this helps!

If your cat is over 12 weeks in first line use older. It kills fleas and eggs ..... use a flea bomb for your apartment. and furniture, try using "internal boundires"
oh do not make a flea dip, they are known to cause many intestinal problems. elevation of the skin of cats manage so many things, too many have lost their fur.
