2 things help immensely Get a scratching post made of sisal rope like thiscmswrotherapa 0 QdoybER 71 KS 9 and trim your cat ' s nails . Use regular nail clippers and just trim the ends . Don ' t cut back to the quick where the nail switches from clear to colored or they ' ll bleed . Might take a team effort to get it the first few times . I also put double sided tape on the places my cat sharpened her claws for a while , that helped . Cats HATE touching sticky stuff . <| sep |> I play Rexxar quite a bit , and I don ' t know if a Xul has ever given me much grief . Depending on how the Xul plays will dictate if Rexxar or Misha gets to hold the beacon . But if you can only root one of the two and the scythe is easy to dodge where does Xul get his pushing power ?
