Couches, chairs, and boxsprings

All 3 of my ferrets had a fascination with digging at the underside of furniture and mattresses / boxsprings, which are usually covered with a somewhat thin cloth-like backing.

My Bandit one day managed to work a samll hole underneath a wing chair around the leg where it wasn't stapled tightly and got inside.

Unfortunately the hole was so small she couldn't find her way back out and to get her released I had to rip off the entire bottom of the chair.

To solve this problem I purchased a cheap vinyl flooring remnant roll, cut it to fit the undersides of my sofa, chairs and ottoman, and stapled it on. Problem solved!
