How to stop your cat from destroying your home without declawing it. What the experts have to say.
-
Cats hate the smell of citrus, so pour copious amounts of lemon juice over all of your furniture.
-
Flattery won't work on your cat because they don't care what you think of them. So try bribery instead. Promise to release hundreds of mice in your home if it stops scratching.
-
Threats can work, but only if they mean something. Tell your cat you will dress it up in a puppy costume and send it outside wearing it.
-
Or, you can threaten to cancel its Tik Tok account.
-
Cats can't be happy without attention.
-
When all else fails you have three choices: get rid of the cat, get rid of your furniture, or go live in the wild. This is likely the only thing that will actually work.

Local lacrosse players challenge local basketball players to a game of football to once and for all decide which sport is better... Huh? Wait… what?!
After years of sporting a rivalry over which is the most exciting sport to both watch and play, local lacrosse players want to put it to rest. They believe that basketball is a great sport but not nearly as exciting as

Canada's national game. On the other hand are the basketballers who see their sport as the newest and most thrilling sport there is and they want to prove it. So the two sides have decided to finally settle the debate by playing against each other in a match of... erm... football? Somehow, whoever wins this game that neither side excels at will feel confident to say that theirs is the better sport. When asked how this would settle anything, leading lacrosse player Indi Nett said, "Look, if the basketballers can't beat us in football we must be a better sport." This of course didn't help at all. When asked to respond to this, prominent local basketballer Ida Blocker said, "It makes sense to me." Again, no help at all. So in the end, the two sides will play the game, probably go for drinks afterwards since they all hang out together anyway, and nothing will be solved. That's sports for ya.
Inspired by Gary Dahl, the man who became a millionaire with his "Pet Rock," local inventor Tad N. Sane has created the newest fad to hit the market, "The Nutty Buddy." For only $10 you can take home a nut that you can name and care for like you would any other pet. Nutty Buddies come in all shapes and sizes and make great stocking stuffers. When asked why people can't just buy a bag of nuts Sane said, "Oh sure they could do that but they wouldn't be pets would they?" Um... OK. Anyhoo, buy local everyone!

%20(3_9%20x%203_9%20in)%20(1).png)
Though only 6 months old, little Nolot is already beginning to wonder just how smart the adults around her really are. "Don't they realize how easy it is to just love each other and get along?" asked
Nolot. "I mean, how hard can it be to just be a little more thoughtful?"When asked for her advice, the baby had this to say, "Well respect and courtesy go a long way really. How about trying to be nice to each other?"Nolot's biggest hope is that the grown-ups learn how to get along with each other and start implementing a way of living together that includes mutual respect and consideration before she grows up. She has hope.
