Cousin Earl got two new mats today!
The first one is made of sisal and although it came with a pack of catnip, it never had to be opened. Evidently the proximity of the nip was enough for him.
We couldn’t be more proud when he did exactly what he was supposed to on the mat!
He found this mat second. By then he was quite tired from all of the excitement of the new “toy” and the catnip.
It will be a process to keep the claws on the the mats. Clearly he is very used to dragging himself around that way. But he showed promise today. Hooray for Earl!
(And thanks again to everybody who made scratcher suggestions for him. They really helped us pick these out as the first new options for him to try!)












Looks like the mats are a hit! I hope that helps with the carpet scratching.
But they look like great fun!
Earl looks like he’s loving the new mats!
Good luck with the carpeting. I’m still trying to get Katie to lay off the area rugs. You’d think they were laced with catnip.

Those mats are great! Earl’s gonna have a great time with those!!
We hope Earl likes his mats so much he’ll forget about the carpet.

Those mats look a great idea, hope he gets lots of use out of them.
Cool stuff! Go Earl go!
Yippee for new mats! Those look awesome!
