A cat's claws are extremely sharp. In order to keep the "weapon" sharp, cats living outdoors usually choose places such as bark to sharpen their claws. Indoor-fed cats tend to focus on furniture, curtains, or sofas. This will undoubtedly bring trouble to the owner. Thus, cat scratching board and cat scratching post came into being. However, when the owner excitedly puts the scratching board in front of the cat, the cat may not buy it. How to make cats fall in love with scratching boards?

The first is the choice of material. Cats like to sharpen their claws on materials with high resistance, such as hard wood, carpet, thick cardboard, hemp rope, etc., which are very popular with cats. Cats are less interested in materials with smooth surfaces or loose textures.

The second is the choice of placement. The scratching board must be placed where the cat can easily see it. In addition, cats have the habit of grinding their claws after waking up. Therefore, it is also a good choice to place it near his favorite sleeping position or next to the cat's litter.

If your cat doesn't buy it at this time, you can sprinkle some Polygonum orientalis powder on the scratching board. The cat is attracted by the smell of Polygonum orientalis and will use the scratching board. Owners without Mutianli can hold the cat next to the scratching board, gently stroke its head, and then gently pick up its two front paws to scratch on the scratching board. After scratching, the glands on the cat's feet will leave its scent on the scratching board. After one or several times, the cat will develop a good habit of scratching the cat-scratching board.
