A cat scratches wallpaper and sharpens its claws on upholstered furniture not always because its owner has offended it and it has decided to spite him.
It happens that a pet decides to show in this way that this is its territory.
Each pet has its own special scent. Having marked objects helps the animal calm down, get rid of stress or even recover faster.
But this raises the question of what could cause a cat to experience stress in the house.
The reasons may vary.
For example, an animal starts to tear off wallpaper and scratch furniture to leave its smell on objects if a new pet appears in the home. In this way, the cat can also get rid of the smell of a foreign animal that was in the house before.
It is also important to remember that there are odors that are unpleasant for your pet, for example, the aroma of chlorine or ammonia.
In this case, the cat will also begin to “mark” the territory, trying to “drown out” unnecessary smells.
