I posted about two problems to
ljgenie last week: Sputnik tracking litter into our home, and his clawing anything that doesn't have the ability to get away. Of the conflagration which resulted, I did manage to pull some very useful suggestions from some of the more helpful individuals.
I've spent a wad on a few items, to try to fix these problems. (
You might find some of these solutions interesting too, if you've got a cat! )
