They get into everything. The most recent "fun" they've had involves tunneling into the underside of our couch. While admittedly adorable at first, this behavior gave us a real scare. We were leaving for the weekend, and we couldn't find one of our cats : she was trapped, half-suffocated in the couch. That's when we, with the help of a very helpful Home Depot man, came up with a plan to repair the couch.

We first cut away all the old fabric on the bottom of the couch, leaving only the frame.

| The couch, upside down and stripped. |
We used "pet screening" that's black and intended to be used in screen doors to stop dogs/cats from breaking through them. The entire roll was about $15.
 |
| Hardest part of this repair? Getting that plastic wrapping off. |
We didn't have a staple gun, so we had to get one of those too. This one was amazing: for no effort it drove the staple solidly through the frame and into the wood. Very easy to use!
 |
Awesome Stapler.
|
It was simply a matter of cutting the screening and stapling it to the wooden frame. Simple and effective!
 |
| All finished! Take that, cats! |
I'm sure they'll figure out more ways to be mischievous in the future, but for now the couch is back in action!
