How do I stop my cat scratching the furniture?

Scratching is a natural behavior of cats, but it can be quite destructive to furniture. By providing your cats with adequate toys and areas to use their natural scratching instincts, you can not only entertain your cat, but also save your furniture.

For unwanted Scratching behavior, we stock behavoural items like:

• Feliway – a synthetic pheromone that can calm cats and stop behavoural issues like scratching of furniture. Available in a diffuser or spray.
• Pet Relax – a blend of natural essential oils proven to be effective in calming cats and preventing behavioural issues.
• No Scratch Spray – a bitter tasting spray deterrent to prevent your cat from scratching,
• Sticky Paws – Sticky tape that is applied to furniture edges. The sticky strips discourage your cat from scratching that area.

What if your cat doesn’t like the scratching post?

It’s possible that your cat simply needs a little extra encouragement. Cats can be hesitant when introduced to new objects, especially if they’re unfamiliar with them. To make the scratching post more appealing, try spraying some catnip on it. Catnip is a herb that many cats find irresistable, and is found in many cat toys.

It is best to provide your pet with a cat scratching post or cat scratcher from a young age so it learns that the cat scratcher is the place for scratching.
