Box spring and cats don’t mix!

Box springs and cats just do not mix.  Our cats are constantly scratching and chewing the  underside of the box springs of the beds, or chewing the little fibers then hacking it up later.  We are so much in need of a new bed.  My husband and I have been looking at platform beds.   Until we can afford to get us a platform bed, I took an old sheet and made a new cover for the underside and stapled it on with a staple gun.  I hope this will keep those cats from trying to tear it up, or take them much longer while we save for our new bed.  But you should see the kids beds underneath.  I guess I am going to have to take an old sheet or two and do the same in their rooms too!!  I would not fret over it if we did not have cats as no one can see that, but I am so afraid the cats will crawl up inside of the box spring and get hurt or stuck and that would really crush my heart!
