Whether kitten or adult Cats have the habit of sharpening their claws, but some cats will use wardrobes and sofas as tools for sharpening their claws, which makes the owner a headache. So, how to train cats to obey the magic scratching discipline? Cat training!

1. Reasons for cats to grind their claws

There is a reason for cats to grind their claws: it is a cat's habit, so it is impossible to stop it. For a small cat, claws are its most powerful weapon, so it is necessary to rub off the aged horny from time to time to make it extremely sharp. In addition, grinding claws is also to show their own power and increase the smell. There are scent glands inside the cat's forefoot, so it grinds its claws to give the feet its own scent. However, if you let it grind its claws, the sofa, curtains, chairs, carpets, wooden floors, walls, etc. in the home will become tattered and terrible. And once the cat has determined the place to sharpen its claws, it will go there again and again to sharpen its claws, so the loss is even more severe. Claw grinding is the hardest thing in cat education. So start this education as early as possible, before the furniture is trampled.

2. Preparation for claws grinding for cats

Take it to the place where the claws are specially sharpened for many times: First, prepare special claw sharpening tools. Although there are many kinds of them on the market, they are also very good. Just wrap a strip of cloth around the board. If possible, prepare a few extra pieces and put them where the cat likes to go. If the cat starts grinding claws on the furniture, say no right away and take him to a place with special planks. The owner can grab its front feet to sharpen its claws. At the beginning, the cat may be noisy, but after a few times it will patiently grind its claws. Praise him when he can sharpen his claws very well.

3. Cats use odorant

There is a way to use odorant, but the effect is temporary: in this way, the cat will naturally Remember where to sharpen the claws, but if you can't wait, spray the ground where you don't want her claws with odor or vinegar that cats hate. However, once the smell is eliminated, the effect is gone, so it can be said that patient education is the most important. Cats are forgetful animals, and even if they were reprimanded for what happened just now, they would not understand why they were reprimanded. The second rule is to educate patiently. It does not mean that criticism today can be tolerated tomorrow, but it should be criticized patiently with the same attitude at all times. If the master himself gave up halfway, then the hard work before this would be in vain. As a result, the cat will get carried away. The third is that corporal punishment must never be practiced. If you hit the cat casually, it will have a sense of fear for the owner, which will lead to a humble character. It's also important to give your cat plenty of praise when he's doing well: give it a big boost when he's doing well. Although the cat cannot understand the owner's words, it is very aware of the difference between the sound of reprimand and the sound of praise. When the cat is praised, its mood will also improve, so the effect of education will gradually increase. Of course, praise on the spot, not after the fact, is important in this case.
