A friend wants to know how to train a Maine Coon cat not to scratch. Is it difficult to train a Maine Coon cat not to scratch. Today I will teach you how to train a Maine Coon cat not to scratch.

Training should begin when the Maine Coon is young. During training, bring the Maine Coon cat to the wooden post, grab the Maine Coon cat's two front legs with both hands, and place it on the wooden post to simulate the cat's scratching action, so that the glands on the Maine Coon's feet are swept away. The secretions can then be applied to the wooden posts. After a lot of training, coupled with the attraction of the smell of secretions, the Maine Coon cat will scratch on the wooden post. Develop such a habit, Maine Coon cats will no longer scratch on the furniture, thus protecting the cleanliness and beauty of the furniture.

If your Maine Coon starts grinding claws on furniture, say no right away and take your Maine Coon to an area with a scratching board. During training, cover the outside of the scratched part with a plastic board, wooden board, etc., and then place a solid wooden post or wooden board at an appropriate position in front of the scratched part. The same method can be used to train Maine Coon cats on wooden Scratching on the post or plank, and after the Maine Coon gets used to it, slowly move the post or plank to where you want it to be. The distance of each movement of the board should not be too large, preferably 5 to 10 cm, and must not be rushed.
