How to Stop a Cat from Climbing Curtains: It's Very Simple

If a cat likes to climb on curtains, then this is unlikely to please the pet's owner.
After all, the animal spoils the beautiful product with its claws.
Fortunately, the problem can be solved. It is quite possible to rid your meowing four-legged friend of this unwanted habit.
And for this it is not at all necessary to resort to punishment.
To wean your cat off climbing the curtains, you need to follow a few simple steps.
Understand whether the owner himself provokes the pet
It is possible that the cat constantly climbs on the curtains due to the fault of the owner.
A common situation is when a person hangs bird feeders on the windows.
The feathered creatures often end up in the fluffy one's field of vision. The animal's hunting instinct is "triggered", so the purr climbs onto the curtains to be at the right height and closer to the window.
Rehang the feeder and the problem will be solved.
Buy toys and a scratching post
It may also be that your pet often climbs the curtains out of boredom.
Perhaps adding more toys to your home will be enough to stop your cat from ruining your curtains.
And if the matter is in the cat's desire to sharpen its claws, then install a scratching post. In this case, the pet will stop ruining curtains, carpet and furniture.
Hang a rope
If your cat climbs the curtains to get to the shelf, hang a rope on the shelf.
In this case, the animal will not have to climb the curtain.
Use repellents
If all the above methods have proven ineffective, then it makes sense to use a safe repeller.
For example, there are devices with motion sensors. Compressed air is supplied. As a result, the cat immediately leaves the "scene of the crime".
Or you can use double-sided tape (cats don’t like sticky surfaces) or lemon juice (cats hate the smell of citrus).
