Help with cat-scratching problems

People who bring cats into their lives for the first time are amazed by scratching. In many cases, it's something they hadn't thought about when they decided to obtain a cat.

Seeing and hearing the end of a davenport being used for claw sharpening is disconcerting to say the least. Often the human companion rushes to the local pet store where various scratching posts are available. These will work, too, *if* the human knows how to train the cat…but few do.

The post is set up but the dispite the owner's best attempts to interest the cat in using it, the cat returns to the davenport. Eventually and sadly, the many owners have the cat declawed and discard the post. It's a terrible shame. The lack of training is the problem.

This is why Natural Scratch includes a training method that has been used successfully by many people. My goal is to eliminate declawing by providing a scratching post most cats like and by including a training method that allows an individual who is brand new to the world of cats to succeed.
