Cat Scratching Problems Can Be Solved

The primary ingredient in solving cat scratching problems is the human not the cat. Cats will do pretty much what they are permitted to do. Without training, they will scratch whatever they are moved to scratch at any given moment. This is no different from the kind of behavior a toddler will exhibit if not taught there are acceptable actions and those that are unacceptable.

Although humans regularly witness the results of animal training--from dolphins jumping out of the water and through hoops to raptors returning to a falconer’s glove--they somehow think it must be *really* difficult. It is challenging but not that hard if you know what to do, do it consistently, and do it with love.

After I developed Natural Scratch I soon realized that I would have to supply a guide to training with it if was going to help preserve claws and solve scratching problems. It's a great post but it is not a set-and-forget solution to cat scratching problems.
