Loki attacks any and all couch buttons. This was a HUGE problem when it came to a very wonderful expensive couch that my Mom gave me. So I coverd them up with masking tape. Now Loki can't get her mouth around them or see them and she totally ignores them. Before she would throw all the cushions away from the back of the couch to get to the buttons. Of course, the fact that she got a hold of the bottons on my SO's mother's velvet couch was traumatizing. Thanks goodness she thinks Loki is adorable and said "Oh I have some extras somewhere, don't worry about it." And she meant it too. cheers chris and Loki [Posted in FML issue 1871]
