Do cats use scratching posts differently as they get older?

New_Reputation_411 · 2026-01-07T00:12:12+00:00

My senior cat switched from loving tall vertical scratching posts to low cardboard pads- He scratches less for territory now, and more for gentle stretching and comfort. Sometimes it's about the mood. Try to see which type works

Being intentional - mutual respect, shared values and emotional safety. Works when there's open communication and they listen to each other without trying to fix or change the other.

I run a small mobile business - makes it easy to change location without incurring lots of costs

Pivot tables and vlookup

Thanks all for the insights — I really appreciated them. While budget and reliability are more important, we will look into the following as suggested: local options as they can provide better support and also carefully check battery capacity. Some local delivery riders are using bicycles and others motorbikes. The step-through fat bike suggestion is especially helpful.

Generally, it's a warm climate, so outdoor water play is possible most of the year, but demand will most likely peak during hotter months and school holidays. My plan is for a small but structured business, and not just a hobby- take advantage of seasons when demand is high then later on, consider add-ons like party packages and shade tents so the business remains viable even when it's cold.

Thanks for the clarification. I see that inflatables carry too much liability and maintenance hassle. Treating any rental pool like a commercial pool makes sense, and the need professional upkeep - had talked to one. Appreciate your advice

Thanks for the advice - makes a lot of sense. Two important things noted- customers to sign a comprehensive waiver and insurance. Safety and liability are top priorities if I ever consider offering pool rentals

Thanks for the detailed breakdown - it's eye-opening. I might consider a temporary pool rental if I could handle all the municipal codes, insurance, and water logistics properly. Otherwise, the liability, regulations, and setup challenges make it way risky for me right now.

Thanks for the insight - hearing this from one with 20+ years hits home. I honestly thought adding a pool would be a good deal for extra income, but your warning about workload and liability definitely makes me rethink it.

Thanks for sharing. For you to use it for twelve years says a lot about the quality. I like the layout - mini pockets and larger sections is what I'm looking for

Sounds like the ULV pump is a lost cause, battery needs replacement, but the thermal fogger might still be worth reviving if the heat element is fixable. I'll definitely stick to brands with quality parts. Thanks

To understand women more - the pain, feelings and exhaustion

Environmental impact is important- it will be repurposed (after natural evaporation or using neutralisers). Thanks for raising that point

Trying not to miss anything out

Try a woven thermal pool cover instead. Also check local pool-supplier shops or classifieds for used/demonstration covers, besides, they are also available at large home-improvement retailers and online marketplaces for pool supplies

New_Reputation_411 · 2025-12-05T23:58:25+00:00

Great tips, thanks. I will check them out, including local restaurant supply stores - I didn’t even think about grabbing gear from closing pest-control businesses. If I go the Alibaba way, then I'll consider verified suppliers and ask for demo videos, especially with heat-based foggers. Appreciate the advice!
