Wallpaper Strippers

Anyone else got a cat/cats that use wallpaper as a scratching post or rip it off(
I have one Queen that does this and now some of the kittens from our latest litter (not hers) are going round the house ripping big strips off They've ripped 3 walls in the bedroom, it's only been decorated a few months. They sit looking at me with an innocent look, as if to say was'nt me mam, only they have bits hanging out their mouths, lol. Somebody said that there's something in wallpaper paste that cats love.......hmmm, maybe catnip, haha

Re: Wallpaper Strippers

Hi

Yes, mine do it as well, despite have numerous scratching posts around the house that are well used.

I am lucky in that they mainly do it in my hall and that needs decorating anyway so I just carry on pulling off the bits they have started. I am keeping one of Tabitha's new kittens so there is no point decorating until she is a bit older. I will have to get it painted rather than papered as I have a feeling they will just rip it off again. I have five cats so don't know who the culprits are as they do it when I am at work and all look innocent when I get home!

I did tell them I was going to tie them on a tall pole so they could take the paper off at the top of the stairwell - they weren't impressed

Re: Wallpaper Strippers

Mine are gradually finishing off stripping the hallway, which is fine as it also needs decorating and its saving me a job, lol. I decorated the main lounge myself recently, as you can imagine the state of the wallpaper in there with 10 or so cats at it. I have redone it all in textured plaster and paint, so next time I feel like a change it just gets painted over

Re: Wallpaper Strippers

Hahaha, we have some painted walls, but with the house being so old, well over 100 yrs, the walls are in bad shape and really need replastering. We have had some done, but it's a long messy and expensive job

Re: Wallpaper Strippers

I used to peel wallpaper off the walls when I was a kid. Once I started pulling and the whole sheet came off. I was horrified and I did get a ticking off LOL
