Ensure that you offer your cat the appropriate scratchable
items so that she has surfaces where she can engage in her normal scratching habit. Most cats will like scratching vertically, so
acquire a scratch post that measures taller than the cat’s body length. Doing so will allow your pet to stretch
fully, giving her a better scratch.
Should your pet be scratching your home’s carpeting, try offering her a
scratching pad instead, as this may be the orientation she prefers. The scratcher item’s texture is also
essential. Many cats like sisal rope,
while others like carpeting or corrugated cardboard on the scratcher item. Try experimenting with various types and
textures of scratching items to find out which one your cat likes. Note that your pet will learn best by using
positive reinforcement. When you redirect
your pet to utilize her new scratcher item, ensure that you offer your pet immediately
with a reward, ideally within three seconds.
This is to reinforce the desired behavior.
