Teach Cats to Scratch in a Fixed Place
Burmese cat
Having cats at home, the biggest annoyance is that sofas, curtains, chairs, carpets, wooden floors, walls, furniture, etc., are all scratched and torn by the cats. And once a cat determines a scratching spot, it will repeatedly go there to scratch.
Scratching is a cat’s natural habit, so it is impossible to make them stop scratching. For a tiny cat, claws are its most powerful weapon, so it must regularly shed old keratin to keep them razor-sharp.
In addition, scratching is also to display its territory and increase scent. There are scent glands inside a cat’s front paws, so scratching is also to leave its own scent.
In training cats, scratching is the most difficult issue. Therefore, it must be addressed before the kitten starts scratching furniture.
