Cat scratching furniture and wallpaper? Scotch tape will discourage your pet from ruining things
Perhaps one of the main reasons why people hesitate to get a cat as a pet is the fear that it will damage furniture and wallpaper with its claws.
However, if you approach the solution to such a problem wisely, you can be sure that the destructive energy of the cat towards furniture, curtains and wallpaper can be easily directed into another, safer channel for the environment.
The main thing, as in any matter concerning our four-legged friends, is to be patient.
First, let us remember: it is impossible to explain to a cat in words that its claws should not be sharpened at all – this is their natural need.
Instead of wasting time on empty talk, install a scratching post near the furniture that your cat has started to look at.
Another step that you should accustom your pet to “from infancy” is trimming its claws.
Finally, try using the most ordinary double-sided tape as an assistant, which you need to stick onto the surfaces that the cat has chosen to sharpen its claws.
Experienced “cat experts” confidently state that a furry pet will never touch with its paws a place where fur sticks for some reason.
