Often cats scratch their claws on the sofa, chairs or other pieces of furniture.
In this article, we will tell you how to stop your pet from damaging furniture in the house.
There are several ways to stop cats from scratching furniture. Buy a scratching post for your pet.
This is an excellent solution to problems with keeping cats.
Thus, the animal will sharpen its claws not on furniture, but with the help of a special device.
If the scratching post does not help you, you can try to scare the cat away from the furniture.
For example, you can raise your voice or use a spray bottle of water to deter them. Cats are afraid of loud noises and water.
Only use these methods when you see your pet damaging furniture.
You can also apply scents that are unpleasant to cats on your furniture.
They do not like the strong smells of lavender and citrus fruits. You can use essential oils.
Spray the furniture with water with the addition of orange, lemon or tangerine essential oils. Cats cannot stand these scents.
Some people just rub the upholstery a little with orange peel.
In addition, cinnamon, cloves, rosemary, ginger, as well as mustard and black pepper are suitable for repelling.
Finely ground spices can be poured into fabric bags and hung where you want to scare away the cat.
Also, do not forget to trim your pet's nails on time.
