Why does a cat ruin furniture: sometimes claws have nothing to do with it
03.05.2023 07:42
Manufacturers of upholstered furniture have come to the aid of cat lovers and have begun to use vandal-proof fabric for upholstery of sofas and armchairs.
Furniture does last longer, while maintaining its original appearance. However, this approach does not remove the issue from the agenda. Cats still scratch furniture.
Let's figure out why pets take this desperate step if they know that they cannot avoid retribution.
It turns out that, in addition to sharpening its claws, the animal has three more reasons for doing this.
1. Manicure
In addition to keeping their claws sharp, cats sometimes have to shed dead skin. Usually, after a raid, pieces of cat claws are left lying under the sofa or in the upholstery.
2. Label
This is one way to mark territory. But unlike the option when the cat treats interior items with enzymes with a crazy smell, scratches, although they are noticeable, are not as crazy.
3. Form
The cat remains a hunter even in an apartment. From time to time, instincts remind of themselves, and then the cat decides that it needs to improve its shape and physical fitness. The pet must be able to release and retract its claws under any circumstances.
There is no better help for him than the corner of a chair or sofa if the owner does not buy a scratching post in time.
