Raising cats can relieve people's mood. Looking at the cute cats, it feels that their hearts have been healed. But when a cat scratches the furniture at home, do you still think it is cute? I think this is a headache for many cat owners. I don’t know how to stop cats from scratching it randomly? Let’s learn about it below!

1. Trim your nails regularly for cats.

Cats grind their claws to grind their nails. Regular trimming can reduce the damage of the cat to furniture and will not scratch people.

2. Prepare something for the cat to catch.

This is the most important principle. Since cats cannot be changed, it is prohibited to grab a place and provide the cat with another place to grind the claws. This is very important!

You can specially prepare a grinding plate for her (preferably made of natural materials, such as hemp rope, wood, etc.), fix it vertically, and then train the cat to grind the claws there. If necessary, you can use some catnip to attract the cat to grind your claws. Now you can also buy cat scratch boards that have been sprayed with catnip on the market, and most cats like to use them very much.

In addition, some straw mats made of natural materials are also the favorites of some cats, such as the craft straw mats that can be bought in IKEA. Some cats will consciously grind their claws on them.

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

The cat is very afraid of sudden "attacks". When the cat is about to grab the sofa, it uses a water gun to "help" him, and the cat will run away in fear. If you use this method a few more times, the cat will form a conditioned reflex: go to the sofa to grind your claws = be suddenly attacked by unknown things, and naturally the cat will give up the sofa. The spray of the water gun is not harmful to the cat, but it only serves as a warning. But it is important to note that don't simmer water into the cat's ears.

4. Spray lemonade on the place she likes to grab.

The cats don't like the taste of lemonade, and the cats with orange peel are also very annoying. Other unpopular smells include caloric water, syrup, etc. When cats smell these scents when they go to grind their claws, they will definitely avoid them. If you also have the trouble of cats catching sofas, you might as well try the suggestions above. If all of these are done, then your sofa will be safe while giving cats a new fun of grinding claws. For other furniture, you can also try this method.
