I saw the paw-touching after I had snapped this pic, and did a double-take a few minutes later, and then went to grab the camera to take a close up of those paws, but by the time I came back into the room, Ambercat was sitting up and yawning, and getting ready to terrorize the world.

Claire doesn't usually scratch the furniture, but the shape, and material of the fronts of this couch's arms mimic a scratching post so closely that it's proven irresistible to her! I think most cats will leave your stuff alone if you provide them with an option.
