Is Your Cat Plotting World Domination? Decoding Feline Weirdness
Clawing Conundrum
Cats instinctively need to scratch, often targeting sofas and other furniture. This behavior helps them mark territory, keep their claws sharp, and stretch their muscles. Scratching leaves both scent and visual markers, signaling ownership of the space. Luckily, there are ways to redirect this natural behavior.
Providing scratching posts or pads made of materials that cats love can save the furniture. Placing these alternatives near favorite scratching spots can encourage their use. Additionally, using furniture protectors or double-sided tape can deter scratching. This behavior, though destructive, is vital for their well-being. They can indulge in their scratching by offering appropriate outlets without wreaking havoc on household decor.
