I’m sort of all over the place this week. Nothing crazy happening, just lots of little things and plans and things to accomplish that I’ve ended up with my head in the clouds. Rather fitting as this morning is VERY foggy in Seattle. So this is rather a hodge-podge of stuff going on. Any one else feeling this way? Since I need to establish a LITTLE order, you’re getting a numbered list! 1. I love these earrings from my girl Christina’s Etsy shop. Aren’t they gorgeous? 2. We finally got fabric for my kitchen windows. I’ll be tackling that project this weekend so stay tuned! 3. While finding the fabric last night I fell in LOVE with about 25 different patterns at Pacific Fabric (aka my new home, I think! Best place ever!) 4. Thisbe has developed an obsession with my antique rug. Not peeing on it (thank God) but flipping up one corner and playing and wrestling with it. Anyone have any suggestions to end her obsession before she snags a big hole in it? We have a cardboard box sitting on it right now, but that’s not so attractive. 5. We also went to TJ Maxx last night and saw several cool home items but didn’t buy anything. This is good because we’ve been pretty strict about not spending extra money. 6. However, I did pick up a pretty awesome chunk of rock crystal at the Fremont Market on Sunday. It’s about four inches long and so far I’m planning to use it as a paperweight. 7. Office update coming as soon as I get photos taken. I haven’t forgotten about it, and it’s actually staying kind of clean! I have filing to do (always) but the sofa has been less magnetic for clutter, so we’ve made some progress! 8. The main problem with getting up at 5 is that I’m starving by 9. Yep, I eat breakfast! And my tummy is already growling. The office snack table is calling my name. 9. I’ve been pretty proud of myself because I learned how to do something new in Photoshop (I use Photoshop Elements). Isn’t that the best feeling? Well that’s what’s going on in Maggie’s world today. Here, there, and everywhere. Ryan is making pasta tonight and I’m pretty stoked about that. Mmm angelhair and meat sauce. Yep, I’m definitely cruising by the snack table! 4 comments to Scatterbrained |

We broke down and got our cat a scratching post, which although not particularly attractive, has helped with her scratching other things, like that one corner of the couch. We keep the scratching post covered in catnip so she will like it better than the couch. So maybe if Thisbe had something else that was more appealing/catnip-y to amuse herself with she wouldn’t prefer the rug? Good luck!
Thanks Katie!
We actually have one of the cardboard scratching things that has catnip and she LOVES it and uses it. She even hangs out on it sometimes. She doesn’t really scratch the rug (once in a while but that’s it), she’s more using the rug as a TOY. She has other toys that she likes playing with too. Some of her larger toys she treats the same way, down on the ground wrestling, kicking at it with her back legs. But she IS hanging onto it with her claws which is why I’m worried about the snagging. Thanks for the tips, maybe we’ll try to distract her from the rug with her other toys and scratching post.

Does she bite the rug at all? If so, you could put a few drops of an essential oil (like lavender) in a spray bottle and spray the underside of the rug, it should help make that corner less appealing to her.
Julie,
I’ll have to check next time. Worth a shot! Thanks for the tip.
