When cats are scratching objects, they also have such a habit: they always like to scratch at the same place or the same part. This is because cats' feet have abundant glands that secrete a sticky, odorous fluid. During the scratching process, rub it on the surface of the object being scratched, and the smell of these mucus will attract the cat to scratch at the same spot again. For domestic cats, if you don't pay attention to cat training, you will often scratch the furniture and scratch the floor.

Before training, prepare a wooden post, about 70 cm long and 20 cm thick, and fix it upright near the cat's nest to make it easier for the cat to scratch. The texture of the wooden posts should be firm. During training, bring the kitten to the wooden post, grab the cat's two front legs with both hands, and place the two front feet on the wooden post to simulate the cat's scratching action, so that the secretions from the glands on the cat's feet are eliminated. Can be painted on wooden posts. After many times of training, coupled with the attraction of the smell of secretions, the cat will scratch on the wooden post. After developing the habit, the cat will no longer scratch on the furniture.

For cats who have developed the habit of scratching furniture, during training, cover the outside of the scratched furniture with plastic boards, wooden boards, etc., and then place a suitable place in front of the scratched furniture. Root a solid wooden post or plank and train the cat to scratch on the post or plank in the same way as above. Once the cat has gotten into the habit of scratching on the post or plank, move the post or plank slowly until you see fit. Every time you move the wooden post or the plank, the distance should not be too large, 5 cm to 10 cm is appropriate, and you must not act too hastily.
