All cats like to scratch, and it can be a problem if you have nice furniture. The main priority is to stop them scratching your furniture and redirect them to a specially designed cat scratching post.

Here’s a few tips to help:

• Clean all marks off furniture as they scratch with warm water and soap to remove their ‘territory’ marks
• If the cat scratches in the same place every day spray with a solutions such as Feliway Optimum which sends happy messages to reassure the cat
• Install a cat scratching post near your cat’s sleeping area or close to the unwanted scratching areas
• Make sure you have at least one scratching post per cat and that they are sturdy and tall.
