Will Tink let you clip and file her claws? We've found that clipping isn't enough - the clipper leaves edges sharp enough to rip fabrics. One of ours is a bit of a scratcher and a chewer - he's getting better though thank goodness! Another likes to jump on people's backs, climb to their shoulders, and ride like a parrot. Problem is he's 15lbs and most people's shoulders aren't exactly flat so it inevitably morphs into hanging on for dear life, claws and all!
Our cats love the S-scratcher that bastet linked. They love the almost-litterboxes too but they never last more than a few hours and I hate the cleanup!
I gotta say, I looked at the stuff on the SquareCatHabitat homepage... and I'm wondering if any of those designers actually have cats!? Because I can't see a single thing any of mine would be at all interested in. Tiny patches of scratching material surrounded by smooth wood hung at artistic heights has nothing on the side of a large, hefty leather couch
and those towers are just idiotic, cats do slip and they'd have absolutely no traction jumping from one super smooth surface like that to another - there's a reason cat tree ledges are carpeted on the sides!
FK My Cat From Hell is my guilty pleasure
MC Yeah, we're pretty much where you are - six animals = we just don't bother with expensive or heirloom furniture! So we're all set for the kids

It's always a great feeling when kitty much prefers the less expensive alternative over your favourite furniture.
