Preface

Many cat owners have encountered situations where their cats scratch their paws on furniture, but after buying a cat scratching board, the cats don't need it. In fact, owners can train cats to use a scratching board to sharpen their paws. If you are still a novice owner, let me teach you some training tips.

There are several ways in total

1. Place some obstacles next to the furniture he grabs, or spray unpleasant odors on the furniture, such as fragrances, to make it dislike the furniture. A more positive approach is to scare away a cat with the sound of a siren or other equipment when it grinds furniture, causing it to have negative feelings and experiences when grabbing furniture. Just one or two times can make it never want to touch furniture again for a lifetime, but don't let it realize that the sound is related to you, otherwise it will be afraid of you, not the furniture.

2. If your cat likes catnip, you can sprinkle it on the scratching board.

3. If your cat really doesn't like using a scratching board, you can try using wood instead.

4. Place a furry toy at the top of the cat scratching board and hang it with a rope, as the shaking toy can attract the cat to play, so that the cat will gradually fall in love with the scratching board.

5. Moving the cat's paws to the furniture it loves to scratch can reduce the cat's constant scratching of furniture.

6. Making the edges of the cat scratching board furry can increase the cat's desire to scratch.

7. I often help it trim its nails.

8. Place the cat scratching board in its favorite place, such as where it eats, plays, and eats cat snacks.

summary

In fact, it is very common for cats not to use cat scratching boards. If cats really have no love for cat scratching boards, owners can also try using other things as substitutes. After finding something that cats like to use to sharpen their paws, it is not too late to train.
