Methods to Prevent Cats from Destroying Curtains and Tissues?
Tabby Cat
Some cats really have a special fondness for curtains and tissues, and their destructive power toward curtains and tissues can frustrate owners who don't know what to do. The damage caused by cats may be because they do not have better toys, or they find new items interesting. To keep cats away from curtains and tissues, the following methods can help you solve the problem.
1. What to do if cats like to scratch curtains
Of course there are many methods, the most well-known of which is spraying lemon water on the curtains. It is well known that cats dislike the smell of lemon water very much. As long as you spray a few times on the curtains, the cats will stay away after smelling the scent.
However, there are always some cats who are not afraid of the smell of lemon water. For such cats, other measures need to be taken. For example, gently hanging another blanket or unused cloth outside the curtain. When the cat jumps up, the blanket hanging outside the curtain will fall to the ground, and the cat will naturally fall as well. After several times, the cat will feel that climbing curtains is boring and not worth doing.
In addition, you can hang several pull-tab cans on the edge of the curtain, and put some coins inside. When the cat climbs the curtain, the pull-tab cans will shake, and the sound of the cans hitting the coins is enough to scare timid cats. After being frightened, cats will "think twice before acting" when wanting to climb the curtains again.
While preventing cats from climbing curtains, it is best to prepare a cat tree. Cats are naturally skilled climbers, so if you want them not to climb curtains, you must give them another outlet. If all the methods mentioned above cannot stop your cat from climbing, you can only use the last resort — replace with blinds. I think even cats with the most agile skills will be "helpless" with blinds.
