We were beginning to think there was no way to stop Pixxel from ripping her favorite chair to shreds, until we noticed that she only seemed to want to climb behind the back cushion and claw at the back of the chair when she'd been playing for a while. Acting on a hunch, we tossed a fluffy towel behind the cushion, which worked like a charm. Now she climbs up, just like before, but curls up under the towel and takes a nap. We figure she must have been trying to dig a napping nest. Hope this tip helps someone else too! - Pam, Bob, Pixxel & Rusty [Posted in FML issue 0647]
