If you have a cat you know they love to scratch especially on cat trees. Many of these are covered with carpet to soften the scratch. But that means Fluffy’s fur gets embedded into the fibers of the carpeting and does not come out no matter how much you vacuum. Here’s the fix: grab a credit card or store loyalty card to scrape the carpeting. The thin hard edge of the card gets to the base of the fibers to release the stuck hair. Your cat’s tree will look like new.
