The front end of the cat's paw has a hook, very sharp cats have the habit of scratching and scratching objects, cats raised indoors often use the angular edges of wooden furniture as scratches, which not only affects the cleanliness of the room, but also damages the furniture. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust and train the cat to scratch the board or wooden column, which not only meets the natural needs of the cat, but also protects the furniture from damage.
The training of cats to scratch wooden boards or wooden posts must start at an early age. The method is to place a wooden post or board in the most visible place for the cat, and let the kitten climb up and down, looking for the parts it is willing to scratch. If not scratched, the owner can gently stroke the cat's head with his hand, and press down on its head to force it to scratch the wooden column, after scratching, the glandular secretion on the cat's feet will be rubbed on the scratching site, due to the smell of the secretion attracted, the cat will go to the wooden pillar to scratch.
Cats have the habit of picking and scratching immediately after waking up, so wooden boards or wooden posts should be placed near the cat's litter. Cats have a certain selectivity for pickpocketing materials, and do not like to scratch loose boards, and like to scratch boards with a solid texture. Practice has shown that wrapping a layer of carpet on a wooden board, cats are more willing to scratch. When the cat has developed the habit of scratching wooden boards or wooden posts, for the cleanliness of the room, the wooden boards or wooden posts can be fixed to the wall near the cat's litter.
