My Cat vs. The Windowsill: Pool Noodle Edition

Anyone else have a pet who thinks the windowsill is their personal racetrack? My cat, Luna, goes full parkour every time a bird dares to exist outside. The result? Scratched-up sills and my sanity hanging by a thread. Desperate, I tried the pool noodle hack. Yes, it’s hideous. Yes, my friends laughed. But guess what? It works. Just slice a pool noodle to fit, slit it lengthwise, and pop it over the sill. If your windowsill is shallow, slap on some Velcro. If you’re not into the neon noodle aesthetic, paint it or try cardboard. Or go full extra and get a window hammock or scratching post nearby—Luna now ignores the sill for her new throne. Pro tip: If your pet’s scratching is out of control, it might be boredom or anxiety. More playtime, enrichment, or even a baby gate can help. And if all else fails, trainers exist for a reason. #PetHacks #CatLife #DogOwners #Pets
