Claw Wars

October 27, 2014

Clawing in cats is a natural, instinctual behaviour that helps remove old claw sheaths and acts as a marking behaviour. As many frustrated cat owners will testify, these natural behaviours are all well and good until they involve systematic destruction of your furniture!

There are several options that owners can adopt. Firstly, provide a highly desirable alternative to the sofa in the form of a scratching post. Scratching posts can be anything from a wooden log to carpeted constructions. They can be made more appealing by using dangling toys and catnip and praising and stroking the cat when they use the post. Cats often scratch on waking so the scratching post should be placed close to the sleeping area.

If owners can catch their cat in the act of destroying the furniture then they should employ some deterrent. Screeching, shouting, hand claps and water spray bottles can all be effective in stopping the behaviour. Double sided sticky tape or contact (applied with the sticky side outwards) can be placed onto the furniture to decrease its appeal.

There are products available that can be glued to the cat’s claws and act as a small protective sheath over each claw, for more information on this product please contact the clinic. These caps can be quiet effective but do rely on a compliant cat, as they have to be replaced regularly.

If everything above fails then consider re-upholstering the sofa- but use a smooth, tightly woven fabric, as this will be less appealing to your cat!

  2. Yo, heard about 5pbet1. A solid option for a quick flutter. Games are easy to pick up, and the site's not trying to be fancy. If you need a place to put down a bet, give 5pbet1 a look.

  3. 7789betz, been spending some time here. Straightforward and what you expect. I've had smoother experiences elsewhere, but may be good for a place to look around and see for yourself when you check 7789betz

  7. Quick registration and a welcome bonus that actually matches the advertised amount. I appreciate the 24 hour support channel that solved my query within minutes. Consistent gameplay and transparent transaction history make this a top pick. 89betcc

  8. Finally a mobile friendly spot that understands what we want down here in Quito. The sportsbook section syncs beautifully with the casino lobby and I never miss a live match stream. I appreciate how they celebrate local holidays with actual decent rewards instead of generic pop ups. Feels like a friend keeping the fun alive on game nights. Get your copy at ecdescargarappecuabet
