tropit- when I was first married we had an apartment that was the top floor of a home. We hung out coats downstairs near the front door. Well I had a long wool coat that I didn't wear much but liked. I didn't realize but my cat used that coat as a scratching post! I went to put it on one day and there was a huge mess in one spot. I sewed an applique over it and wore it for quite awhile. LOL And of course I moved the coat~!
