Caused by the cat or the woman?

While I can understand why you're annoyed, remember that its a tool to serve you and not the other way around. Its meant to be used. Its meant to get scratched and marked. I bet you'll not care about any new scratch that appears on it from now on.

I know someone who never takes their new toys out the house in case they get a scratch. Whats the point? Don't get me started on leather cases for mobile phones
