[FEL-L] Destruction with claws?

[Donna Verba]

Her house is block & brick the topof her house leads to another platform
above, under a large roof, a 6 foot log leans on the side of her house. She
climbs the log leaves the roof of the house alone and zeros in on the upper
platform, one corner only. I know she is doing her nails but I wish she
would use an emery board it's a lot cheaper than plywood.
Thanks for info
