Many cats have a habit of leaving scratches on furniture.

This desire of a four-legged friend can be explained very simply: the pet sharpens its claws and marks its territory.

There is no point in scolding the animal for such behavior: it is pointless. No amount of shouting or punishment will make the cat stop scratching the furniture.

Declawing is also, to put it mildly, not welcome: the consequences of this procedure for the pet's health can be extremely negative.

It is better to accustom the cat to a scratching post. And also to ensure that the animal stops damaging the furniture.

Achieving the second result is quite simple. To do this, it is enough to treat the product with one available product.

What to spray furniture with

It is enough to sprinkle drops of lemon juice on sofas and armchairs. Juice of other citrus fruits will also work.

A pleasant aroma will appear in the room, which, however, cats do not like.

This is why pets will stop approaching furniture, much less scratching it.

In this case, no harm will be done to the animal. It turns out very convenient: both the pet is safe and nothing will happen to the furniture.
