Cats often damage furniture by scratching. This can be a real problem.
Why does a cat ruin furniture
Typically, cats scratch furniture due to lack of activity and play.
In addition, cats can also do this due to stress.
For example, due to other animals in the house, small children, loud sounds and constant noise.
Cats may also do this at night due to boredom and nocturnal activity.
So cats may be doing this out of boredom, stress, or pent-up energy.
It is also important for cats to sharpen their claws.
How to stop a cat from damaging upholstered furniture
A scratching post can help you cope with the problem.
You can place this near your pet's favorite sleeping spots.
The cat may realize that it is convenient and continue to scratch the scratching post rather than the furniture.
If your cat's behavior is related to stress, it is important to address it to resolve the problems.
For example, isolate the animal from noise, guests, and small children.
If your cat lacks physical activity, spend more time with your pet.
For example, use special toys to imitate the success of a hunt.
Provide the animal with safe hiding places in the house and elevated observation points.
Spend as much time as possible with your pet and play together.
Thus, in the evening the animal will be tired and want to sleep at night.
