Cat Scratchers Versus Furniture
I think the title will say it all. Which would you choose? A lot of people see their cats as absolute angels who let their kitties do anything they please in with the household furniture. I would step into their house and see peeled sofas, artistically separated drapes, pet signatures on authentic wooden stuff and the classic shredded curtains. Looks good to you? I don't thin so either! In this article I want to make the emphasis on the importance of using cat scratchers, scratching tree posts and other similar accesories in rearing one's pet in not only providing protection from the other stuff found in your house, but provides a lot of fun, convenience, look and well-being for your cat as well.
I have been a cat owner for nearly 2 years how. I own a male half-breed Persian cat named Crumpet. Now when I first got him, all I had was a feeding bowl, cat litter trays religiously scooped a few times daily and lots of my love to give him. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough - in particular for my black synthetic leather sofas, my bean bags, my thick curtains, by bed and my pillows which were losing value quickly from all the recreation marks Crumpet has been leaving on them. Well at first I thought it was cute and thus I gently tried to discipline Crumpet, while my husband was doing the not-so-gentle stuff. While he was writhing in agony from all the value we are losing, I decided to research on cat scratchers and scratching tree posts.
I found out that there really is little you can do about the cat's scratching behavior. In fact, it is actually important for your kitty do be going about his kind of behavior as it shows that its well being is in check. They do this out of instinct - mainly for the need to strengthen their arms and to sharpen and wear down their claws. In nature, cats are hunters, tree climbers, territorial fighters and such and thus even in a domesticated setting, some of these things are necessary for your pet to thrive.
It makes perfect sense then, to not limit or control this behavior because it is a "cat" thing. But you don't have to sacrifice your furniture for it, in fact you just have to buy new ones in the form of cat scratchers and scratching tree posts. These things are actualy very nice to look at - as they come in different shapes, sizes, themes and the like. The common thing is that they are scratchable, in many cases climbable and in some cases even sleepable! Thus, not only does it give protection for your furniture - it makes the ambience look better and at the same time provides well being for your pet cat. I see Crumpet having his fun with one of these things almost daily. And yes, my (newly bought) furniture is almost safe from being victimized like before and my husband and I are very pleased with this.
