What can i do to keep my cats from scratching on leather furniture?
This is such a frustrating battle. Here are a few suggestions that may or may not work. You can try giving him something else to scratch on like a tall scratching post or a piece of wood from outside. The scratching post needs to be tall because they like to stretch while scratching. Feliway also make a product now called feliscratch to help redirect the scratching to the scratching post. You can also apply soft paws to their nails so that even if they try to scratch, they won't do any damage. I hope this helps!

my cats keeo scratching the couch even though i gave them something to scratch it , but they keep running to th couch and scratch it , it there any way to avoid that ?
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Cats scratching your furniture can be the worst! You can consider putting nail caps on your cats while training them: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MYGODXH/ref=asc_df_B01MYGODXH5167683/?tag=hyprod-20&creative=395033&creativeASIN=B01MYGODXH&linkCode=df0&hvadid=198073792559&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=740752911514439939&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9007368&hvtargid=pla-318807050319 Purchase several different types of scratching posts and have some that are vertically oriented like your couch. Place them where your cats mostly sleep so when they wake up and want to scratch it is there. Also place them front and center in your house so they can do it where you mostly relax. Place one near the couch. Get your cat interested in the scratching posts by sprinkling them with catnip or spraying them with honeysuckle. Learn more about catnip and honeysuckle. Get your cat even more interested in the post(s) by using a wand toy. St

My cat refuses to use a scratching post, instead preferring to shred the walls, corners, and door faces to pieces. Catnip doesn't help.
This can be a tough problem - I can sympathize! There are a few things you can do to help. First, make sure that you are providing really good, attractive scratching posts in the areas that your cat wants to scratch - many of the small, carpet-covered ones in pet stores aren't very good. A good scratching post should be at least 3-4 feet tall so that the cat can stretch all the way out when scratching. It should also be heavy and solid - if the post feels flimsy or tips over when the cat scratches, he won't want to use it. Finally, most cats prefer rough coverings like sisal rope or something similar rather than carpet. I would try to get several really good scratching posts and ideally also a few cat trees/climbing structures so that you can have at least one in every room where Pepper spends time. To help discourage scratching on furniture and door faces, you can use double-sided scotch tape over these areas - the tape sticks to their paws when they try to scratch, so they normally c

Cats that are declawed still like a scratching post so yes, I think you should get her one. The cat shelf is a really awesome idea! Cats love those! All environmental enrichment is good especially for a cat living in an apartment. This article may give you more ideas.

My 6 month old kitten is tearing up the carpet in front of my son's and my room. She is scratching at the carpet and pulling it up off the pad. She has a two scratching posts but I have never seen her use them for scratching. How do I solve this pr
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! I recommend getting different types of scratching posts- vertical and horizontal ones. I would also look for a product called Feliway in a spray, and spray the posts to attract her to them. Also, maybe adding catnip. I would also trim her nails so she is less likely to rip the carpet. There is a product call Soft Paws that are fake nails for cats that will make it harder for her to rip up the carpet. Lastly, get a squirt bottle to spray her with water when she scratches the carpet. She is young yet, but you should be able to train this behavior out of her. Good luck and kisses to Little One!
