Many cat lovers will choose a cat climbing frame for their cat owners to sharpen their paws, but they often encounter the dilemma of cats refusing to use the climbing frame. In fact, cats can also be trained to use cat climbing frames. Let me introduce how to train cats to use cat climbing frames.

Scratching is a cat's habit, so it is impossible to make it stop scratching. For kittens, claws are their most powerful weapon, so they must regularly grind off their aging keratin to make them incredibly sharp. In addition, grinding claws is also to show one's power and increase odor. There are odor glands inside the front legs of cats, so they grind their paws to leave their own scent. Grinding claws is the most difficult thing in cat training. Therefore, it should be done before the kitten shows signs of scratching furniture.

Cats have a habit of scratching immediately after waking up and enjoy scratching around objects in their litter to move and relax their front limbs and paws. Therefore, when training its scratching behavior, wooden boards or pillars should be placed near the cat's nest as much as possible. As the cat grows older, the size of the wooden pillar or board should be appropriately increased, and then the wooden pillar or board can be fixed to the wall near the cat's nest in the future.

Firstly, it is necessary to prepare specialized claw grinding tools. Although there are many types of products sold in the market, I am also good at making them myself. First, place a thick wooden pillar about 70 centimeters long and 20 centimeters in diameter, or a wooden board about 37 centimeters long and 20 centimeters wide, near the cat's nest. At the beginning, it can be placed horizontally to facilitate the cat to climb up and down, allowing the cat to find the parts it is willing to scratch.

If the kitten does not scratch, the owner can gently stroke the cat's head and press down on its head to force it to scratch a wooden pillar or board, but the action must be light. After being scratched by a cat, the glandular secretions on its feet are also applied to the wooden pillar or board. With the attraction of its own secretion scent, it will scratch the wooden pillar or board.
