The reason the one below has $4300 monthlies is that it used to be land lease building that bought its land and now has a hefty mortgage - ty97 Sep 30, 17:28 4

Question I don't know the answer to: am I supposed to replace Ollie's scratching post when the sisal gets worn? Like if it's not really nubby anymore? - amanda Sep 30, 16:50 15
- Effing nubby. -- nm - Qale Sep 30, 17:56

      - Yeah sorry but you can't have nice things when you have cats. Or babies. -- nm - amanda Sep 30, 17:35 5
        
        M brought a rug back from a layover in Istanbul a couple years ago and cats were like "for us? you shouldn't have." - mafic Sep 30, 17:37 4
        
        I read somewhere that if you spray rugs with lemon oil/bergamot oil/tea tree oil/rosemary oil that cats won't scratch them. Ha ha ha ha - amanda Sep 30, 17:48 3

        I mean Hamachi does hate lemon, but she's not really the problem. -- nm - mafic Sep 30, 17:53
- I replace them once they're good and shredded. -- nm - Krusty Sep 30, 16:53 3
  - It's so crazy that in decades of cat ownership I've never had one destroyed before. Good kitty. Right? -- nm - amanda Sep 30, 17:12 2
    - Definitely a good kitty for using the post over your couch or something else you like. :-) - Krusty Sep 30, 17:15 1

I rarely watch baseball on ESPN but I guess they always devote space in the score bug to win probability. This seems dumb. - zunk takes things literally Sep 30, 15:42 2
