   You’d think so, but they prefer stringy stuff like carpeting and drapes that can catch their claws and help break off the old, dull outer layers. They don’t like powdery stuff that clogs their claws and makes it difficult to withdraw them, not to mention painful. Now, however, if your cast has been reinforced with an external nylon mesh, oh ho! Game on!

   Yep, they want it to catch those claws nicely. But it has to hold still, so at least in my house, drapes are of no interest. (They were great for climbing when they were kittens though.)

   Carpeting holds some interest, but wood is even better. My cats sort of used the carpeted wood scratching post I bought, but with precious little enthusiasm. Then the carpeting came loose, they discovered the wood underneath and YEAH, THIS IS THE STUFF, WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?

   The lesson for Bruno is, if you really want to make Cat happy and distracted from the cast, don’t buy something fancy and expensive at the pet store, get him a 3′ or so log with the bark still on. That’s kitty heaven.
