Sisal Cat Scratching Post
What are your recommendations for cat sctraching problems?
My two cats, who need their claws, enjoy scracthing the furniture. They have many toys that are meant for their scratching enjoyment, but they aren't satisfied with just those. I use a squirt bottle of water every time I catch them in the act, but I'm not always home. I have heard poor things about plastic guards and sprays that don't work. Have any of you had success with other methods?
They have a scratching post, a "kitty condo" covered in carpet, a sisal bag, cardboard, and a large stuffed animal (meant for cats and holds catnip).
I have a dog, too.
I recently returned a Kerosene heater. My 2 cats clawed the box sooooo bad I was charged a 15% restocking fee!
I have found that they LOVE the cardboard box's.
I have also loaded them up with every scratchy toy under the sun to no avail!
They have laid off on the "forbidden" zones only because of the cardboard box's.
The plastic guards do work as do the sprays. Not all sprays work mind you. I found one in "Walmart" and it did work vs one from a fancy schmancy pet store. Go figure.
Plastic guards, water bottles, all of the carpet covered toys rubbed with cat nip, ect. are great. Keep using them.
There is no "right" thing that will "cure" them.
I also scream a loud "NO" everytime they go near the "forbidden" zones.
