Cat Nail Trimming or protecting furniture from scratches

Melissa from Saint Marys Bay

Hi Everyone,

I am a new cat mum. He is 5 months old and is in a hyper stage. I’ve covered all my furniture with sheets and blankets etc - not aesthetically appealing. Any suggestion on how I can protect my furniture from my cats claws that look a bit better than sheets? He has a scratch pole which he uses but I’m sure once I have taken the blankets etc off he will have a go at the furniture. Also have used aristopet spray (deterrent) and also cat nip on his pole. With treats. Just wondering if someone has other ideas. I’ve been told to do regular nail trimming. Know anyone that can do this regularly and what the cost would be? How often are we supposed to nail trim? I realise it can become expensive so am looking for someone to do this regularly for me.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:​​
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes​​
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device​​
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
