Wild cats have the habit of grinding their claws, which is one of the basic behaviors of survival. They will leave claw marks with their paws near their sleep or rest, so that other cats can know that this is their territory. In addition, grinding the claws can also remove worn out old nails, exposing the newly sharp nails as a weapon for self-defense.
Since there are glands on the meat balls of cats, they secrete pheromones, so they will also leave a smell while grinding their claws to prove that they are nearby and enhance the cat's self-confidence; it also allows the cat to feel comfortable and safe after entering this range.
Cats raised by humans do not need the function of their claws, but the country is easy to change and their nature is difficult to move. Cats still have the desire to sharpen their claws. Even if the owner asks the cat to use the cat to scratch the board, some cats will still choose to grind their claws on the furniture, especially leather sofas or rattan furniture.
Cats with strong sense of territory or confidence often use their claws to declare their territory. It is difficult for the owner to persuade him not to sharpen his claws, because the cat will have a unique pleasure when he pierces his claws into the furniture. In addition, the Academy also advises the owner not to intimidate it, because it not only has no effect, but may also cause more problems; the correct way is to induce the cat to grind its claws!
Once the cat grabs a furniture, it will identify the place and always catch this place. If the owner wants to induce the cat to use the cat scratching board, you can choose a corrugated cat scratching board, but it is best to put it on the ground so that the cat can catch it better, especially for the kitten. It is prepared for it since childhood and placed it in a place to sleep or rest; or the owner can also fix it on the wall.
