I have stumbled upon a new training aid !
 
IVAN the TOEABLE has defeeted even Bitter Apple in his quest for toes and
finally, I believe I have stumbled (no pun intended) upon an answer for
those beleaguered folks out there owned by pea brained carnosaurs intent
on amputating any and all digits found under the sheets or otherwise
naked on the kitchen or bathroom floors.
 
Oil of Peppermint extract!  Generic is fine..found at your friendly local
neighborhood Safeway or PigglyWiggly or WinCo...it DOES have a bit of
Alcohol in it as a carrying agent as does Bitter Apple, but that does
evap quickly and besides...our fuzzies aren't gonna drink it...trust me
on that one.  Ivan got a whif of it on omy toes and hasn't been back
since except to scratch on my feet where he cannot now nibble, looking
up as if to say...what up with this Wriggly's effect, dad?  He REALLY
doesn't like it.  Just a dab'll do!!!
 
Oh, and DO NOT use peppermint toothpaste as it has flouride in it and
THAT is POISON!!!
 
Putorius with the sweet smelling and intact toes (and a frustrated IVAN)
 
PS...I have rubbed it on a few cabinet doors and it seems to work there
as well...hmmmm...
