It is not only furniture that needs to be saved from sharp cat claws. The pet is ready to exercise on any surface – horizontal or vertical, regardless of the material and quality of the coating.
But first of all, carpets and upholstered furniture, wooden surfaces, and wallpapered walls suffer. The cat has an interest in all these objects.
The question remains to be solved: how to protect all this goodness from the one whom we ourselves have tamed?
Folk remedy
Cats don't ruin furniture out of spite.
- Firstly, they warm up this way. The exercise is good for the spine.
- Secondly, they thereby leave marks on the mutilated surface.
- Thirdly, they sharpen their claws.
And if you don’t get a cat and train it to use a scratching post in time, this struggle will never end.
While your pet is getting used to the new accessory, your task is to wean him off the habit of ruining furniture with a simple spray.
Fill a spray bottle ¾ full with water, add a few drops of orange essential oil and a little liquid soap as a fixative.
Mix the ingredients and begin preventative treatment of your property.
For reference
Claws are horny structures of cutaneous origin on the terminal phalanx of the finger in terrestrial vertebrates (birds, mammals, and some amphibians), designed to facilitate movement, defense, and attack.
