A couple of notes, first off, always enjoy your episodes, really glad your recording more.
On Cats, you can always try the squirt gun method to change the scratching behavior, but you have to be around a lot and very diligent in squirting the car every time, plus you need to give them some alternative for scratching. Also I would consider if putting the scratching pads on the couch might just encourage scratching on the couch instead of not.
On the HDMI cable, if you have the time, a great place for cables is http://monoprice.com, just watch out for the shipping costs.
Thanks for sharing.
Bob

Thanks for the advice Bob. We’ve tried the squirt guns before, but to no avail. He seems to have taken to the scratch pad (as you can see in the art for the episode), but he still can’t help but automatically go back to scratching the couch every time he wants some food. Oh well…
