Nowadays, many urban white-collar workers have a cute cat at home. Many friends who have just raised pet cats will complain that cats often scratch the furniture in the house. In fact, it is the cat's nature to grab things, it is the way to leave the smell of the land, and it is also a natural way for their ancestors to teach them to trim their nails. If you want to improve these bad habits of cats in the eyes of humans, the best way is to create an environment suitable for cats, and you can easily protect your beloved furniture. So how to prevent cats from scratching furniture, you can do this:

1. Understand the habits of cats:

If you have furniture that has been scratched by cats, please observe, how does this furniture relate to the cat's routine? Usually, cats will stretch after getting up, and then grind their claws to enhance the smell of the site . Therefore, the furniture along the way may suffer.

2. Observe the cat's routine and layout:

Observe where your cat likes to sleep? Where to play? Which furniture does it like to scratch the most? Then put a scratching board next to the place where it rests, and also on the path that it must pass after getting up, and next to the furniture it loves to scratch.

Understanding the cat's habits and improving it can effectively solve the problem of cats scratching furniture.

3. What should you do if you put a cat scratching board, but the cat doesn't scratch? ?

If you have placed the scratching board but it doesn't work, please go back to step 2 to confirm whether the placement is in line with your habits.

Secondly, confirm whether the scratching board is a material that cats like: each cat has different preferences, some cats like hemp rope, some cats like corrugated paper, some cats like carpet or leather, you can scratch from it Furniture can be seen.

Next, please make sure that the direction of the scratching board matches the furniture that cats like to scratch. For example: If your cat scratching board is the kind that lays flat on the ground, but the cat likes to stand up and scratch the sofa, then the direction is not correct. Some cats like to scratch horizontally, and if you're posing with twine posts, they're certainly not interested. Some cats like vertical scratching, and if you put a horizontal scratching board next to the couch, they will of course continue to stand up and scratch the couch.

4. What if you see the cat scratching the furniture?

The first step is of course... hold on! Don't scold, pretend not to See~

After the cat finishes scratching, find a way to cover the scratched area first, then go back to the second step above, put a scratching board suitable for cats next to it, and put a scratching board on the side of the cat. Reward them when scratching the board. Once they get used to it, you can remove the cover.

Following the above steps, you can easily solve most of the scratching problems. Finally, remember to replace the cat scratching board regularly to maintain a scratching feeling~

Finally, I do not recommend that you use scent sprays. As long as you understand the habits of cats, you can create an environment they like, and you don't need to use them. Getting the cat to reject the way it hates approaching furniture improves the problem.
