I am a frickin' GENIUS. Only happens once a decade, so pay attention:

I do have a small amount of floor space devoted to one of those trackball-around-a-scratcher things, which Teddy likes, but that's really not enough, yet I have no more floor space to devote to an upright scratching post.

So of course he's started in on the dinette booth. I put some Sticky Paws on the corners to stop that, but then remembered that somewhere I had a scratching pad that was actually made up of 4 different scratchers, each 1" thick. I don't know if they still make these, but the thickness is just right.

I use a lot of this stuff in my rig: http://www.ugluit.com/index.php?id=83. I used the roll for this, and put a strip of it on the top of the pad and another on the bottom, adhered it to the booth side, and viola.

UGlu is like a solid form of rubber cement -- very sticky, but it will come off if you rub in into a ball. I use it whenever I want to affix something to textiles in my rig, because it adheres to "rough or uneven surfaces".

That is a cool idea. Very similar to one I used:

I bolted it to the kitchen counter in an upright position with two screws. Recently I took it down and threw it away because after three years it was shredded. Thanks for posting, I will order another one.
