Cat Nail Trimming or protecting furniture from scratches

Hi Everyone,

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.

The EWB Zeiss telescope was used to manually track Apollo missions when Houston didn't have radio contact with its spacecraft and astronauts.

The public are invited to use the telescope to view the moon on Saturday until 10.30pm at the stardome at 670 Manukau Road, Epsom.

“It will be five days after the new moon, so looking up from the Southern Hemisphere, we will easily be able locate the various maria, or seas, on the eastern half of the near-side of the moon. These are the Sea of Serenity, Sea of Tranquillity, Sea of Crises, Sea of Fecundity, and Sea of Nectar,” Stardome telescope operator Daley Panthagani said.

Entry costs $2 per adult and $1 per child. The Stardome will also be putting on educational shows about the moon for additional fees. For more info visit www.stardome.org.nz...
