Scratching Where You Want 'Em To Scratch

Regularly people ask me plaintively, "Do you think I can get my cat to claw Natural Scratch?"

The answer is absolutely but the emphasis has to be on the "I" in many cases. Some cats are amazingly obedient but others are more inclined to do their own thing until you set 'em straight. Most cats want to please and not cause problems unnecessarily, but they won't know what is okay and what is not unless the humans in their lives make it clear.

It's really that simple. ('Course they don't speak English so you can't just say, "Don't scratch the wookwork, please!")

Humans who fail to train their cats simply give up too easily. More later...
