My old cats me and Mum used to have were known for that in the kitchen only, to say other rooms were wallpapered too. I assume it was both of them and not just Smokey. Also the carpet we had the time in the same room before it was took up was prime target as well. But this was just Smokey for that :rofl:

If you place your litter and food trays/bowls near an un papered wall when they are younger the scrapping should not begin..... but once this action has started its pretty hard to get them out of it!  ;D

Thing is, they haven't done it anywhere else in the house even though most of the rooms are wallpapered!  :innocent:

That's why I was thinking perhaps this particular wallpaper wasn't to their liking!  :evillaugh:

I suppose we should get around to decorating anyway as we haven't bothered since we moved in quite some time ago!  :shocked: :evillaugh:

Yup. As I've mentioned here before, mine are experts at wallpaper removal. Sadly, they do not restrict themselves to the wallpaper I want removed. And seem to be otherwise occupied when the time comes to install new paper.

They are also excellent painters. Apparently they think there should be paw prints on the floor and one (a bushy tailed one) once thought to add to the existing wall treatment by adding 'feathering' touches in the contrasting colour............

sigh.........

My Guinness (RIP) stripped some of the wallpaper in the hall and my old dog Sasha (RIP) jumped into a tray of white paint and left white pawprints all over my chocolate brown carpet.  Of course they were helping.

You go out of the room for a short while and leave your cats sleeping peacefully in the living room. You return to find one (or all?!) of them has decided to drop a hint that perhaps it's time to replace the wallpaper.  :sneaky:

Here's the evidence:

Here's the culprits:

Who me? I'm too cute and tiny to be bad!

Morgan

What, you think I did it? I'm innocent!

Hey, I've got better things to do with my time!


Oh well, never liked that wallpaper anyway!  :evillaugh:

Anyone else had their cats "help" with the decorating?  ;)
