Last thought: do I have to worry every time I sit on my couch? Do I need to check under the cushions?
Trying to be blase' about this, but it does give me pause.
REMEMBER, I have read ALL the posts. So don't yell at me.

I think your cats should do just fine. From my experience my cats actually killed some scorpions (of course, if I saw the scorpion first I would kill it and not let my cats get it, just in case). I don't know if they ever got stung, but if so it didn't hurt them.
And I wouldn't worry everytime you sit on your couch, bed, etc. You will just become over paranoid!! Yeah there are plenty of scopions, but you aren't going to find them everywhere like you may be thinking.
The past few years of me living in Mesa & Gilbert I have only seen about one scorpion a year in my home. When I lived in Safford I probably saw 3-4 scorpions in my home each year. So, just don't worry about it too much is what I say. Just spray your house with bug killer (inside and out) a few times a year.
