Cat scratching things around your place can
be a big problem sometimes, If he start scratching your Sofa or
Rug.
Scratching is natural for cats, this keeps their claws in shape.
whenever cat scratches any surface it releases the scent which acts
like marking their territory. So he's marking his own territory.
well what can you do to stop your pet scratching out your sofas and
stuff in your room. It'll take some time but it's possible to teach
your cat some new tricks ;)
What you can do is get your cat a scratching post. They come
in varieties of sizes and texture. Give one of those to your cat. If
he doesn't uses it check what your cat scratches and get a
scratching post which has the same texture.
I think it's better to observe first and then spend money on
scratching post.
Other important thing is cats always scratches things where the
owner sits most of the times. So mark out places where you sit often
and put a scratching post there.
If your cat persists in scratching furniture instead of the appropriate surface, you will have to
retrain him. When you catch her about to scratch inappropriately, say "no" in a loud voice.
Pick him up and show him the place where you put the scratching
surface.
