There is a reason why cats grind their claws.

It is a cat's habit to grind its claws, so it is impossible to get it to stop grinding. For a little cat, the claws are its most powerful weapon, so it is necessary to constantly sharpen off the old skin.

In addition, the grinding of claws is also to show one's own power and increase the smell. The cat has odor glands inside its forefeet, so it grinds its claws to give its feet its own scent.

However, if it is allowed to claw casually, the sofas, curtains, chairs, carpets, wooden floors, walls, etc. in the home will become tattered and terrible. And once the cat has determined the place to grind its claws, it will go there again and again, so that the losses are even more serious.

In the education of cats, it is the most difficult thing to learn to grind their claws. Therefore, it is important to start this education as early as possible before the furniture is trampled.

Repeatedly take it to a place where the claws are sharpened.

First of all, you need to prepare a special claw grinding tool. Although there are many varieties sold in the market, I also make them very well. Wrap strips of cloth around the board.

If possible, prepare a few extra pieces and put them where the cat likes to go. If the cat starts grinding its claws on furniture, say it right away"No, you can't"and take it to a place where there is a special plank. The owner can grab its front feet and make it grind its claws.

At first, the cat may be noisy, but after a few times it will patiently grind its claws. It should be praised when it can sharpen its claws very skillfully.

There are ways to use odor sprays, but the effect is temporary.

This way, the cat will naturally remember where to grind its claws, but if you can't wait, you can spray the ground where you don't want it to grind its claws or sprinkle it with vinegar that the cat hates. However, once the smell is eliminated, the effect is gone, so it can be said that patient education is still the most important.
