He was thinking "Momma is sleeping so I can get away with it. If she asks me why I did it, I'll tell her I didn't, the Ugg gremlins did it." Seriously though, I don't know why dogs or cats get it into their heads to tear something up.
My cat didn't bother my little pillows on the couch for the first few months I had him, then one night he decided to tear into one of them like he does his catnip toys.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
