How to stop a cat from sharpening its nails on furniture: a ridiculously simple method

12.06.2023 19:12

Cats carefully monitor their appearance and always wash themselves whenever they have a free minute.

An equally important grooming procedure is nail trimming.

True, pets often use not specially designed scratching posts for this purpose, but upholstered furniture, and sometimes even wallpaper.

Fortunately, it is quite easy to wean a cat off this bad habit.

The easiest way is double-sided tape, which needs to be glued to those places on the sofa and armchairs that your favorite chooses to do her next manicure.

Once a clean animal feels its paws become sticky, it is unlikely that it will want to try sharpening its claws on furniture again.

In addition, you can call upon strong aromas to help.

Place a bowl filled with coriander, chili pepper, citrus fruits and other spices next to the object of interest to the cat - the chances that the pet will approach the source of the smell are zero.
