Claws are another wonder of a wonderful creature

Cats are wonderful creatures with many fascinating characteristics, from their unusual vocalizations--meows and purrs--to their astonishing curiosity and penetrating eyes.

Their claws fit well the overall picture of an animal beautifully adapted to its habitat.

With domestication, however, claws have become a little inconvenient due their destructive power. But it is fairly easy to train a cat to claw an approved scratching post and to leave fine things in the home alone.

It's also a fun process for the cat and its human trainer. Find out more at naturalscrath.com.
