Re: After a year of temporary housing, Lakewoods Tent City residents fear homelessness again

They should have used the money to build a home less shelter and then they, along with Minister Steve, could have applied for and found ways to fund it to keep it running. Federal funds and church funds and so on. That would have prevented this dilemma and created a long term solution. What's happening now is exactly what I have been saying would happen.

Re: Host of My Cat From Hell

This is my baby Oreo. He is a 3 year old neutered male wearing that tuxedo you see in the picture. LOL.. He (I) has a problem and that is he likes to scratch my very expensive lift recliner (the ones that help you go from sit to stand). I have gotten the corrugated cardboard type scratchers and he used them all the time when he was a kitten. He has the rectangular ones the round one in the ball go round toy, a double wide rectangular one and I just got him the carpet covered post. I put them in front of the spots that he insists on scratching my chair but he will not use them any more. I put catnip on the scratchers and still nothing. I yell to startle him away and he goes right back. He just looks at me as he is scratching my chair. I sprayed him with water and he then started to try to get a drink of water when I sprayed. Then I went to a white distilled vinegar and water solution to spray him and he runs away when he sees me go for the bottle he will lick that off if I get him and go right back to the chair. I am at a loss her. He is a well behaved cat aside from this issue. He does this everytime I go to bed and now he has started to do it right in front of me during the day. I don't know what to do. I can't move that fast as I use a wheelchair for mobility and can't get out of bed that fast. As you can see in his picture he is on the back of the recliner a lot. Pleas help me out. I am at a loss at this point. I don't want to declaw him. but it may be my only option. Please Jackson help me prevent that. Thank you for taking the time to read this.the tubing you see him laying on is my oxygen line.I just ordered the double stick tape but I am hesitant to use it because I need to sit in this chair as well. I also ordered the caps you glue on the claws and the herbal spray by those doctors that is not supposed to stain but keep the cat away from the chair when sprayed on weekly. Not thrilled with that idea as I don't mind him on the chair, I just want him to scratch the chair. Any other ideas would be ever so greatly appreciated
