“Tabby could you perhaps retract your claws. I do not see any enemies here.”
“I was just practicing Mrs. Human to see if they are sharp enough.”
“Sharp enough for what?”
“I thought I would go outside and leave a few messages on the trees to show who is in charge here.”
“As long as you do not leave your scratches on my furniture.”
“No problem Mrs. Human, I did that some time ago, and you did not even notice. That is the problem with my notes, they fade after a while. I could of course refresh them. You would definitely feel safer.”
“No thankyou Tabby. Thanks for the offer, but I feel safe enough without any additional cat scratches on the furniture.”
“But as a unique speciality of the day, I could make a few ornamental scratches with curves.”
“Just go outside and carve a few signs in the trees, I am sure that would do the job nicely.”
“I could spray the apartment as well to give it a unique flavour.”
“Tabby go and spray and scratch outside, this is my territory.”
“Only because I let you have it, rent free with a tuna fish supplement and service included. Are you sure you do not want a free spray? It would really add something special to the home.”
“Tabby outside.”
“OK, just asking.”
