1
Tip of the Week
Frustrated about the cat clawing your furniture or carpets? Here are a few facts and ´how to´ hints that may help:
1) Clawing has a dual purpose for the cat: It´s just cat instinct to work their claws and mark their territory. Once a cat claws something their scent is left on that object so they will come back and claw it again.
2) If you buy a carpet or sisal covered scratching post or cat tree, rub it down with catnip and Kitty may find this is better than your carpet or furniture.
3) You can trim a cats nails which will lessen the damage they can cause without having to declaw them. Special cat trimmers are available at your local pet supply store, but when trimming don´t trim too close to the pink part of their claws, you could seriously hurt the cat.
4) Everytime you catch the cat clawing something they shouldn´t, spray them with a special water bottle (tap water) you should already have handy. This method used consistently should minimize the number of times they claw and helpfully eliminate the unwanted cat behavior problem.
