Welcome to my wallpaper page. Here I have collected some tips and tricks how to give the wallpapers in your home the right, clawed-in appearance.
The first and foremost thing to remember is: Be creative. Watch my lips: Cre-a-tive. That means: No straight, vertical scratches. OK, they are simple to do, and still quite visible, but By the D*g! How banal! No, instead I have invented a method which I call SITWARS - Sixten’s Inverted Two-step Wallpaper Relocating Scratch.
Inverted
because the secret with the method is that the initial movement is a downwards, rotated scratch. This is done as a common scratch, but in the middle of the movement the paw, together with the claw involved, is turned 180 degrees, thus lifting the wallpaper up from the wall. This will produce what will be referred below as the Initial Scratch.Two-step
because the Initial Scratch is used as a starting point to expand the area with a number of scratches all done with the claw pointing outwards from the start. This may sound difficult, but if one keeps in mind that it is basically the same action employed as when opening a cupboard door, equipped with a magnet lock, things will go much more smoothly.When one has obtained a large, naked area, one can go further and do a number of rotated scratches pointing towards the initial area. In such a way, an industrious cat, given enough time, can relocate the wallpapers of an entire room!
A number of illustrations follow.

Figure 1 - Initial Scratch The claw turning point is clearly visible (see arrow) |
Figure 2 - Initial Scratches with affiliated, secondary scratches This shows a number of Initial Scratches, used as focal points for a multitude of
secondary, rotated scratches. Unfortunately the whole area has since been sprayed with
KeepOff, causing the premature termination of the project. | |

Figure 3 - Finished project This picture shows a part of a larger, finished project. The site has been covered by a sofa, thus preventing any unwanted interruptions. |
