Claw grinding is a habit of a cat, so it is impossible to stop grinding it. For small cats, their claws are their most powerful weapon, so they must often grind off their aging horny to make them extremely sharp. In addition, grinding claws is also to show your own power and increase the smell.
There are odor glands inside the cat's forefoot, so it grinds its claws to make the feet have their own odor. Despite this, if you let it grind your claws at will, the sofas, curtains, chairs, carpets, wooden floors, walls, etc. in your home will become ragged, which is very terrible. Moreover, once the cat determines the location for claw polishing, it will go there again, which will cause even more losses. In the education of cats, it is the most difficult thing to educate the claws. Therefore, this kind of education should be started as soon as possible before furniture is trampled.
First, you need to prepare a special claw grinding tool. Although there are many kinds of sales on the market, I do it well. Just wrap a strip of cloth around the wooden board. If possible, prepare a few more pieces and place them where the cat likes to go. If a cat starts to grind his claws on the furniture, he should immediately say "No" and take it to a place with special wooden boards. The owner can grab its forefoot and make it sharpen its claws. At the beginning, the cat may make noise, but after a few times it will patiently grind its claws. It should be praised when it can sharpen its claws very skillfully.
There are methods to use odorant spray, but the effect is temporary. In this way, the cat will naturally remember the location of the claw grinding, but if you can't wait, you can spray odorant or sprinkle vinegar on the ground where you don't want it to grind your claws. However, once the odor is eliminated, it can be said that patient education is the most important thing. Cats are forgetful animals. Even if they are scolded for what happened just now, they will not understand why they are scolded.
does not mean that criticism today can be allowed tomorrow, but that criticism should be patiently criticized with the same attitude at all times. If the master gives up halfway through, then the previous hard work will be in vain. In this way, the cat will be complacent. Article 3: Corporate punishment must not be implemented. If you hit the cat casually, it will feel fear of its owner and then develop a humble personality.
When it performs well, praise it greatly. Although the cat cannot understand the owner's words, it is very clear about the difference between the voices of reprimand and the voices of praise. When a cat is praised, its mood will also improve, so the educational effect will gradually increase. Of course, in this case, it is important to praise it on the spot rather than afterwards.
