Sweetie-nes-day!
We do not trim Sweetie's nails, and we mostly stay clear of those murder mitts.
However, the bedclothes take a real beating!
I mentioned this to family members who gifted us with yards of heavy, canvasy fabric, to use as an experiment.
Which fabric, tossed across the bed, will keep Sweetie from constantly having pull her claws out of the quilt?

Dark brown canvas, although it doesn't look dark in this image. |

Close up of the murder mitts...and why pale pink is not such a good color for a shedding black cat! |
The brown canvas belonged to my late grandfather.
The pale pink is the purrfect size for the bed, and we'll keep it de-furred.
There is also a small piece of floral canvas, which will nicely wrap the chair that Sweetie uses as her backyard window look-out.
There was a length of blue denimy stuff, which was dreamily soft, but Sweetie's claws caught in it too easily.
What we do for our furbabies!
