A pet friend who has had ragdolls knows that ragdolls like to scratch things, whether it is a table, sofa or bed at home, the ragdoll will destroy you in the same way. This situation makes cat lovers very headache. In order for the puppet cat to live harmoniously at home, beating and scolding will only be counterproductive and make cats afraid. Here are some tips to help you change the bad habits of puppet cats.

The purpose of sharpening claws is to sharpen the nails. Regular trimming can reduce the cat's damage to the furniture. It won't catch anyone.

This is the most important principle. Since the nature of the puppet cat cannot be changed, then the cat puppet cat is prohibited from scratching a place, and the puppet cat must be provided with another place. A place where she can sharpen her claw, this is very important!

You can prepare a claw sharpening board for her (preferably a natural material, such as hemp rope, wood, etc.), fix it vertically, and then train Ragdolls go there to sharpen their claws. If necessary, use some catnip to entice the cat to rub the claws. Cat scratch pads that have been sprayed with catnip are also available on the market, and most cats like to use them.

In addition, some natural grass mats are also the favorites of some cats, such as the craft straw mats that can be bought at IKEA, and some cats will consciously grind their claws on it.

Ragdolls are very afraid of sudden attacks. When the Ragdoll cat is about to grab the sofa, he sniffs him with a water pistol, and the cat will run away in great fear. Using this method a few more times will make the Ragdoll form a conditioned reflex: going to the sofa to sharpen its claws = being suddenly attacked by an unknown thing, the cat will naturally give up the sofa. The spray of the water gun is not harmful to the cat, but only serves as a warning. But be careful not to put water in your cat's ears.

Cats don't like the smell of lemonade, and cats also hate orange peel water. Other flavors that are not popular with cats are toilet water, balsamic oil, etc. Cats smell these smells when they go to grind their claws, and they will definitely avoid them.

If you also have the problem of cats scratching the sofa, you may try the above suggestions. If you do all of these, then your sofa will be safe while giving cats new claw grinding fun. You can also try this method for other furniture.
