Cat scratching board

Cats have sharper and more destructive claws than dogs. Cats can also rub their paws like dogs. In order to prevent the cat from causing damage to the items in the house due to grinding claws, it is necessary to use a cat scratching board instead.

The purpose of cat claws is to keep their claws sharp and to make a mark at that location. Cats are preparing for hunting food with sharp claws. In this regard, cats do remain more wild than dogs. At the same time, grinding the paws also has the function of intimidating the other party, which is similar to the pedal action when the kitten sucks the mother's milk again, but the meaning is different.

It also leaves a mark while grinding the claws:

Cats have sweat glands hidden behind their front feet, so rubbing their claws in haunted areas has a double meaning. Of course, cats will also mark in other ways. When a tomcat is in heat, we will all find that he likes to pee everywhere, which we call spraying. There are also sweat glands on both sides of the cat's ear bone, so you will find that the hairy likes to rub the owner with his head. Perioral glands are also hidden around a cat's mouth, so cats sometimes rub on their own belongings. Cats have tail glands at the base of their tails, so we often see cats sitting at our feet and wrapping their tails around our calves.

Like dogs, for cats, spraying or marking at the same time is actually a full oath of their own sovereignty. When a cat is obsessed with the work of clawing or indulging in the fun of clawing, the owner's scolding basically does not have much effect. Therefore, it is necessary to decide as soon as possible the place where the cat will sharpen its claws, and then prepare a scratching board for it to sharpen its claws and vent their restless emotions. Training should be started from the kitten stage to minimize damage to furniture.
