I don't...um... understand.

Have you seen a speach therapist for that stammer?

This is what cats do. So I go back to my original suggestion.

We put a cover on ours. Worked like a charm.

Well that is the obvious solution but this wasn't designed to be a sandbox. It was under an elevated playhouse type thing and was not able to covered easily.

De . . . .

Say, have you tried closing the window?

That might work.

Dec . . .

I went out and picked up one of those cardboard scratcher things and WOW! He loves it! I put it down and of course he had to come over and investigate. It took about 5 seconds to get the idea and he went to town.

I wish I would have picked one of these up sooner. I previously got the "emery cat" but took it back immediately because it smelled like moth balls or something and Oliver wouldn't go anywhere near it. and I couldn't wait to get it out of house. Just having it in the car, opened, when I brought it back and then getting back in, the car reeked.

Now if he'd just stop nibbling on the little pieces of cardboard he scratches out...

You should have IT look at your keyboard. It doesn't seem to be working properly.
