Also? Extremely tacky, but aluminum foil over appealing scratch spots until they get the point works. Unless you have a cat who likes to eat foil....
We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Hubby and I have held entire conversations about mundane matters entirely in Python quotes. Freaks out the people trying to figure out what we're saying.
Plus there's our personal code built from the fact that we're both punsters and familiar with words in lots of languages. ie: Burros=Thanks, because Danke Scheon (sp?) becomes Donkey Shins becomes Burro Knees becomes Burros.
I have long called this sort of thing the Unconversation. Where the people talking understand each other perfectly, but nobody listening in will have a clue because of all the unspoken assumptions, inside references, etc.

Clearly I've been away from here too long - I know I recognize this, yet can't place it. Please help...*hangs head in shame*

I had trained my cat not to scratch my new couch by putting those cardboard scratchers near the couch. Then everytime I heard scratching I would run (like a loon) from wherever I was and give him praise and a treat everytime he was using the scratch boards. It worked like a charm until I got a second cat and decided to retaliate.

"People say they're recycling. But they're not."
Probably a cross-post, but this is one of Riley's better lines, in the episode where Xander splits in two.

Art Crawl!!!
EpicTangent -- it's Riley from "The Replacement" - the one where Xander gets split in two.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's a Riley line, Epic, from the splitty phallus of Toth episode (or The One With Two Xanders).

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Epic, it's a Riley quote- The Replacement. When they're at the dump before the Toth (?) splits Xander.

Dude. That was an awesome x-post.
