I dont know if this is in the right section.

Noel keeps digging at the carpet?

Why is this? He has been fed,watered and has had a play out.

Is he in pain?

Anyone xx Thanks
 
Mine like to dig at it just for something to do! I took all of my carpets up a couple of years ago and had vinyl put down.....and it is SO much easier with the major hay and rabbit fur issues I have around here! :roll: :lol: But I still go to the carpet shop and get those square samples to scatter around for them. They love to scratch at them, or just lay on them for a snooze!
 
i cant wait to move into my own house (2 weeks to go woo!) so that i can put hard floor down. wispa scratches the carpet for the same reason zola licks the skirting boards, because they can :D

our red carpet is white the day after hoovering, i dont understand how zola is still fluffy with the amount of hair he loses!
 
Thanks :D

I didnt know he was in pain or not.

He has never done it before nor has Amber. Timmy did. He does it where his fur is. :roll:
 
Mine start chewing at the carpet, I thought randomly, but I've just figured out they always chew or dig at a place where they've had something juicy. They must still be able to smell the flavour there.

Could it be something like that?

Strange you say that! Because I found out it is where there was some banana smudged into the carpet! :roll: He dont miss a trick :D
 
Emrys chewed my door when it was shut and dug the carpet in front of it. I now have a bare patch :roll: I think he just wanted out the room. He scrabbles at doors when he wants in or out too. I'm beginning to think he is a puppy.

Clever aren't they. Of my house buns it's Faline who has a go at the carpet and Molly has started putting his head over the patch she's working at so he gets groomed instead. At least he's on my side. :lol:
 
Mine like to scrabble at the carpet under 'their' chair
I've got a couple of 99p rag rugs from Ikea (washable but take a bit to dry),they love em, once they have a bit of rag in a loop they spend ages pulling it out:roll:
I was concerned about them eating the bits, but once it's not putting up a fight they move onto another patch and the bits shake off into the bin:)
