Cats scratch the sofa may be due to the soft velvet texture they want to touch the sofa, or they may be grabbing dust and hair from the sofa. In addition, they may also be grabbing fibers from the sofa to satisfy their scratching habits.
Cats may be catching the sofa because they are bored, so they catching the sofa to play. Secondly, it may also be because the owner is not ready to grind the cat's claws, so the cat will grab the sofa at home to grind the claws. In addition, because there are scent glands on the cat's paws, the cat may also grab the sofa to leave its own scent and declare its territory. If you want to solve this problem, the owner can try to prepare a cat scratch board or cat climbing rack for the cat, and regularly cut the cat's nails, and also put a sofa cover on the sofa.
1. Boring
If the cat is often at home alone, then when it is bored, it will choose to grab the sofa and play. Therefore, it is recommended that the owner prepares cats such as cat scratching boards or cat climbing racks for the cat to play. At the same time, he can spend more time with the cat to play to distract the cat from the sofa.
2. Sharpening claws
Cats are natural hunting animals, so their claws are very sharp. If they do not use claws for a long time, they will often grind their claws on the cat's board or other places. If the owner does not prepare a cat scratch board for the cat, then the bed sheets and sofas at home may be treated as cat scratch boards by the cat. Therefore, the owner should cut the cat's nails regularly and pay attention to the process of cutting and not cut the bloodline.
3. Declare sovereignty
Cats have a strong sense of territory, so when they determine that the sofa is its territory, they will keep the smell on their territory by grinding their claws. If you are afraid that the cat will scratch the sofa, you can consider putting a sofa cover on the sofa.
