Sometimes she pees over the side of the litter box in the bathroom. But that mops up and gets neutralized with baking soda.

And the screen in the kitchen will have to be replaced due to occassional hanging on it when something terribly interesting is happening outside.

That's pretty much it, though. She's pretty good.

My cat sratched the woodwork as high as my head by taking a flying leap and trying to hang on...

Also, the cat before mine had the stairs as scratching post thing AND the peeing on the stairs thing. My cat seems to not do these things, although he does keep pulling curtains down. Also he knock knick knacks of shelves. Inclusing ones made of breakable materials.

how can you own a pet and not have carpet cleaner? unless you have no carpet....

though cats can do enough damage to a carpet, or other flooring, the worst of it is usually do to an owner not noticeing that they have a favorite spot for scratching. Dogs can ddo damage in a much faster time period.

Eww. Our lunch today included spinach salad, and I just used the dressing that was next to it, which turned out to be sweet.

What's worse is now I am wearing some of it.

Dogs can do damage in a much faster time period.

True. My step-dog attempted to eat a wall. Well, only twice. We caught her in the act the second time, yelled at her, and she stopped. Because she's basically a very good dog. But a very good dog with bone-cracking jaws can do some serious damage if she doesn't know she shouldn't.

My in-laws had to replace some subflooring in a house they moved into because of cat pee.

Kids can be very destructive two. We've had four holes in the wall from various kid related reasons.

Gud, you have exceptional children. When I was growing up, we only made one hole, and that was in a door. With a broom handle. After we threw banana peels at each other. It was a good fight. (Nutty was not involved; she was a neutral party).

I think I was always a neutral party.

Anyway, throwing banana peels was definitely below my dignity. I was a very dignified child.

they have a favorite spot for scratching.

Ding Ding! For 6 YEARS I didn't realize that while I'd trained Devi not to scratch most everything, she had a special place. The back of the loveseat, which is up against the wall. Ah well, it doesn't show, I'm not that attached and I paid all of $40 for it.

My brother did in a number of doors and some drywall. The worst I did was coloring stuff.

Gud, you have exceptional children.

Some of it is just good strategy, they broke the door stops and this resulted eventually in holes from doorknobs. Another hole was the result of my daughter convincing my son that sheetrock is good to eat.
