How to prevent cat from grasping sofa

4hw.com.cn: claw grinding is the nature of cats. It can't be changed. But if the cat doesn't grab the sofa in other places, it likes to grab the sofa. The sofa just bought will be scarred soon, which is also a headache. As a pooper shoveling officer, first of all, we should respect the nature of cats. In order to make cats live more harmonious at home, you can take some measures to change the bad habit of cats grabbing sofa.

1. Trim the cat's nails regularly.

The purpose of cat claw grinding is to polish nails. Regular trimming can reduce the damage of cat to furniture, and at the same time, it will not scratch people

2. Prepare something for the cat to catch.

This is the most important principle. Since the nature of a cat can't be changed, it's very important to prevent the cat from grabbing one place and provide another place for the cat to grind its claws. You can prepare a claw grinding board (preferably made of natural materials, such as hemp rope, wood, etc.) for her, fix it vertically, and then train the cat to grind its claws there. If necessary, use some cat mint to attract the cat to grind its claws. Now we can also buy cat claw board which has been sprayed with cat mint on the market. Most cats like to use it very much. In addition, some natural grass mats are also the favorite of some cats. Some cats will consciously grind their claws on them. Now it's very convenient to buy it in the pet shop.

3. Prepare a water gun and educate her when she goes to grab the sofa.

Cats are very afraid of sudden 'attacks'. When the cat is ready to grab the sofa, use the water gun to 'smother' him. The cat will run away in fear. Using this method several times more will make the cat form a kind of conditioned reflex: go to the sofa to grind claws = be attacked suddenly by unknown things, and naturally the cat will give up the sofa. This method once let a cat who has 7 years of history of sofa claw grinding get rid of the bad habit. After the move, the spray of the safe water gun on the sofa finally won't hurt the cat. It just serves as a warning. But be careful not to put water in the cat's ears.

4. Spray lemonade on the sofa where she likes to grab.

The taste of lemonade is disliked by cats, but also by water cats with orange peel. Other unpopular tastes of cats include toilet water, essential balm, etc. When a cat goes to grind its paws, it will definitely avoid the smell.
