[FEL-L] Destruction with claws?

[Brian Werner]

Donna,
Try giving her a log (preferably oak or some other hardwood) that is 
about 4-6 foot long with the _bark_ on it, replace it as worn down from 
time to time with a new one. Concrete the top of her house by rebuilding 
it with block, etc. I have pictures for this. or you might try the 
largest igloo possible along with the log for her wellbeing to scratch 
on. She is just doing her nails.
:-)

Brian, or anyone else with a suggestion

 Since you deal with clawed cats I have a question for you. I have 3
cougars here that are rescues, two were already de clawed when they came
here, the third one has all her claws. She is very playful and friendly and
has never used her claws other than to destroy her platform on a regular
basis. She has now dug her way down again and we keep replacing the
plywood. Any suggestions on how to keep her from shredding her platforms.
She has this big beautiful huge cedar log in her cage but the platform
seems to be what she zeros in on.

Thanks
Donna
