Woke up this morning:Â Tired.
what happened to the carpet?
The carpet – the carpet. Ophy, dear girl that she is, likes to roll around on her back on the nice new plush carpet, and holds on with her claws as she flips from one side to the other.
Worse than that, though, is that Ophy really likes to dig her claws in and work out her scratching impulses on the carpet.
So there are tufts of carpet coming loose, and it looks like we’ve owned and abused it for ten years, not ten days.
Oh I’m sorry! Can you spray anti-Ophy stuff on the carpet? Something gross that smells like dog, maybe? Not that you want to live with that, but if it works…hey. Why not.
