Scratching is inherent in your beloved cat and all cats. They will scratch regularly and you won’t be able to control them. What you can control, though, is where your cat will scratch and what it can scratch on. Scratching is a way for your beloved furry feline friend to get rid of old nails (and they can also leave scent marks on areas or stuff that they have scratched on), so you just need to accept this behavior and find a way to protect your valuable stuff from getting scratched unnecessarily by your pet cat.
One way to control this behavior is by gifting your cat with a dedicated scratching post or posts placed in several areas of your house. You can also use a no-scratch spray on things or areas where you want your beloved cat to be “off-limits”. You can also put adhesive tape on stuff that you want to protect from scratches. If you have any concerns about your pet’s health and/or behavior, call your animal hospital Louisville KY.
