A Most Brilliant Wallpaper Removal Technique!

As you know, we are working on some home improvement (and probably will be until they day we die...or move).  After removing the wallpaper and border in the guest bedroom, there is only one room left with any wallpaper!  We have ripped wallpaper and/or border out of 5 rooms in the house so far.  The room that is left is the computer room.  I haven't been in a rush to tear it down because although it is not my favorite, it wasn't bad enough to motivate me to paint.  I really hate painting.  But this room has moved up on the project list thanks to the Great Catsby.  That's right.  Catsby.  Michael's little terror of a cat.  This cat has invented a fun new game.  She gets on her hind legs and jumps straight up and rips chunks of the wallpaper border down.  A piece came floating down the stairs this morning and the cat came bounding down the stairs after it, attacked it, then let it be.  She has played this game enough to clear a whole side of a wall from the majority of the wallpaper border.  Whoever picked out this border stuck it on top of an uglier border, and the latter is still stuck to the wall.  Maybe I should try to wet the wall for the cat...

Anyway, here are a before and after pic of the walls:
