A familiar problem for cat owners is constant scratching of wallpaper. But a cat that does not scratch furniture and wallpaper is either a very happy cat or a wrong cat.

Most cat owners simply don't know what to do with a stubborn animal until they train their pet to use a scratching post.

But, as experts say, this problem can be solved easily and simply if you know the reasons for the behavior.

It doesn't matter what interior item your pet chooses for its exercises. The only important thing is that sprays don't always help. And the cat soon finds a new place to sharpen its claws.
