Use the paws II

I am having problems with the new sofa. Frequently when I jump onto it, I slip. Occasionally, although I don’t like to admit it, I fall off.

I would normally use the claws to grip, but if I do Debris or Bignose tell me off. It seems that using the claws on the new sofa is "the path to the dark side!" Instead I should "use the paws".

So that is where this "use the paws" thing came from. They tell me "the paws is strong in me", but that is not even grammatical.
