Cat scratching training doesn't happen in a few minutes

Cats are famous for their independent natures. They like to have their own way, every day. But this doesn't mean a person can't train them. Humans are way, way smarter than cats, and it's fairly easy to outfox a feline. All it takes is a method that works, consistencey, affection, treats to reward desired behavior, and time. The training booklet that accompanies Natural Scratch explains what to do; then it's just a matter of taking the time to do it.
