Many people complain that their cat is constantly scratching the furniture.

This behavior of the animal is quite understandable: the furry pet needs to sharpen its claws. And in the absence of special devices, the four-legged friend begins to use the sofa or table legs for this purpose.

How to cope with the difficulty? It would seem that the answer is simple: buy a scratching post.

But there are two problems. First, the high cost of the device. First, the fluffy one still needs to be trained to this thing.

Fortunately, there is one little trick that allows you to save money and not waste time on “training” your pet.

How to make a scratching post quickly and easily

Take some thick rope and simply wrap it around the legs of a table, chair or stool.

It is advisable to modify the piece of furniture that your pet often pays attention to.

The result will be the simplest scratching post, which, however, will suit your pet just fine.

The owner will achieve several positive results at once. Firstly, there will be no need to purchase an expensive device.

Secondly, there will be no need to retrain the cat. The fluffy one will come to the scratching post anyway. Especially if the pet has previously sharpened its claws on the legs of the selected furniture.
