Do you own a cat like the Bombay or another breed feline? If so, you may have noticed that cats generally like to scratch on hard surfaces in an effort to sharpen their nails or simply for fun. However, it becomes a problem when the cat is constantly scratching or clawing at the walls, curtains, furniture, and other parts of the home. If this is how your Bombay acts, she could be trying to tell you she’s board. Scratching often helps cats release extra energy. Talk with your vet to find out ways to help stop your Bombay’s constant scratching. For instance, you may need to provide your cat with additional toys or even a scratching post to keep her busy. In addition, make sure she is getting plenty of exercise, eating appropriate food, and staying hydrated. Also ask yourself if anything in your cat’s routine has changed.
