Cinnamon loves to scratch on our flip flops that are on the back porch. I
have to put them up off the floor.
Today on my way home I stopped at the dollar store and bought her a pair of
her own. I put them on the floor next to her scratching post.

Has she started scratching on them? LOL, you might have to wear the
new ones, and give her your old ones - it could be the smell she likes!

I've only been home about a hour. I hope I don't have to wear them because
they are kids size. I might take them out and rub them around in the dirt
and grass.
BUT I don't spoil my cats. ( Ya, right) We all do.

Heh...bet she doesn't like them nearly as much as the ones you've
*worn*...;)
Katie loves to use my shoes as pillows and lazy scratching posts...
She'll be laying there on her side, reach over, and start clawing.
My silly little calico fuzzball...;)

I'm not sure if I'm a good mom or want to save my flip flops. LOL

There's no such thing as a spoiled cat, just a properly trained hoomin.

LOL! Good meowmy!
I do something similar. Lindy loves to bite pieces off of paper. I
sometimes have to shoo her away from important papers. I keep a paper bag
on the dining room floor for her to bite, and mostly she's happy with that.

That was awfully nice of you Ann. We have 8 resident felines, and out
of the 8, only 1 (Miss Marley Ann) refuses to scratch on the cat tree.
She much prefers the vacuum cleaner hose, shoes, and I have even
witnessed her scratching on bicycle tires out in the garage. Not sure
what her trip is.

Cinnamon will use her scratching post but for some reason she also likes the
flip flops.

shoes,
Sarsi loves my shoes when I first come in after it's been raining, she
sniffs them, head rubs them and acts like the scent of my wet smelly
feet is catnip!

Snap.
Pity we can't bottle it & sell it, because we would make a fortune by
the sounds of it :o)

Aww, what a good cat slave you are! But I suspect she wants them to
smell of you. Has she used them yet?

I have some hook-together floor mats (alphabet tiles for kids to play
with) that are made of the same material as flip-flops. All my cats
use them as scratching posts, to the extent that all the letters and
bits got separated from the original holes. I think they must like
the way it pulls against their claws. I no longer have a child who is
young enough to play with them, but every once in a while I'll buy a
new one or two for the cats!
Before, when I lived in a no-uncaged-pet apartment, I had some of
these and my caged rabbit got ahold of one edge and started chewing.
The next morning he had managed to pull the tile close to his cage and
one whole tile had been nibbled all around the edge. He spit out all
the little purple bits and for weeks I was finding purple foam
shreddies all over the floor.

This reminds me of our cat Biffy. Now Biffy loves shoes of any kind.
big, small, leather, flip flops, or even smelly trainers even. He
looks around to see who is watching, then the fun begins, lol
He strokes them, then he nuzzles them, wipes his whisker glands,
throws them in the air, bunny kicks them, & finally does the Biffy
flip, & rolls over them all. Once this is done, he chooses his
favourite pair, then carries them to his little corner & uses them as
pillows....
The things cats do>"o"<
