Burmese Cat

　　Having a cat is definitely joyful. However, due to their nature, cats like to scratch around the house, which troubles the owner, creating a feeling of "love and hate." Cats are smart and lively but also willful and aloof. It is hard to make them comply when they do not want to; similarly, it is difficult to restrict what they want to do. Cats love to sharpen their claws on furniture, especially on items made of leather, plush fabric, and rubber, often leaving such furniture full of scratches and damage!

　　The simplest and most effective emergency method is that cats particularly dislike and are averse to surfaces like aluminum foil and double-sided tape. Sticking these papers onto the furniture surfaces that cats like to damage can provide a certain level of prevention.

　　A thorough training method: scratching is an instinct for cats, making it difficult to stop, but owners can provide specific places for claw sharpening. This can avoid furniture damage. The most common method is to prepare a cedarwood scratching board for the cat and sprinkle catnip on it. Most cats like to scratch right after waking up, so the scratching board is best placed near the "cat bed." Usually, when the owner notices the cat wants to scratch furniture, immediately pick it up and place it on the scratching board. If it makes a mistake, say "No" in a tone it dislikes or spray a little water to encourage good habits. You can also spray pet deterrent sprays on the furniture the cat likes to bite.

　　Additionally, it's important to regularly trim the cat’s nails to avoid excessively long claws. However, when trimming, be careful to only cut the white claw tip portion. The red part is the quick, and cutting it may cause bleeding and pain. (Source：PetsZone)
