How to protect furniture from scratching cats

Why do cats scratch things

It is not hate. All cats need to scratch the surfaces to separate the outer layer from their claws, revealing new growth beneath them. If they do not, their tentacles begin to stand up, the 

equivalent of a cat with a nail

Cats also scratch to stretch their muscles and tendons, to determine their land

In a few words: your kitten will scratch. But you can reduce the damage with some strategies

Invest in scratching

As cats have to scratch, give them something they do not mind splitting and cutting

The trick to keeping Kitty away from her favorite chair is finding the striped cat she likes. Scratching comes in all shapes and sizes to accommodate various scratch patterns. For example, if your cat wants to reach zero, vertical participation is a smart choice. If your cat likes to bump into your pants, it is likely that horizontal scraping is ready

Scratch pamphlets are also made from a variety of materials including cardboard, tree bark, carpets and ropes. It may be necessary to perform a small test to see what tactile sensation makes the artichoke cat

To convince the kitten to use a scraper, sprinkle with a catnip or explain how to use it by scratching it

It is not a good idea to put your cat's nails in your prism and try to destroy your pet through suggestions. A cat may hate the sensation and refuse to participate fully

Cat-proof the rest of your furniture

While Kitty learns to direct those claws to scratch (and scratch only), she can protect her furniture through the covers. You can also cover or cushion the corners with aluminum foil

If you hunt a kitten in the act of breaking something forbidden, it is okay to give a strict "no". If the cat does not receive the message after three attempts, keep the spray bottle within reach and feed your pet with a little water

Give your cat a pedicure

Cutting the tips of the kitten's claw weekly will help minimize the damage. Be sure to use a nail cutting tool designed especially for cats

You can also try to cover the nails of all cats with plugs, which are small vinyl tips that make your cat's claws very boring. The covers, with adhesive, remain for three months
