I just bought my first couch and am having it delivered this Saturday. I really don’t think it is right to declaw a cat, but I would be furious if she takes a liking to my new couch and tears it up. What is the best way to protect it when I am not home?
I have a sweet little leuk pos kitten, 3 months old. Fiancee is quite jealous of how much she loves me. I’ve been trimming her claws, but she is ignoring the vertical scratching post I bought her and is instead clawing at the couch. Now, im in school still, so the couch is not exactly new. But, I’d like to teach her positive habits in case she fights off the leukemia. Declawing is NOT an option; not only is it mean, but she might not recover if she turns out to actually have leukemia.
I’ve tried putting her feet up on the scratching post, but she doesn’t seem to understand whats going on. The thing is supposedly scented with catnip.
Great responses from all of you.
I’m going to try this kitty-see-kitty-do business first.
My cat jumps up onto the top of my corduroy couch and lazy boy chair and kneeds. The padding on the tops of my furniture is becomming flattened out where he has been doing this and it looks awful. I have given him cushions and blankets in the hope that he will leave the furniture alone but he just won’t stop doing it on the furniture. How can I get him to stop this?
I have 2 nine week old kittens and they occasionally will scratch on our sofa or bed. We bought them a scratching post, and they will use it but only sometimes. How do we encourage them to use the scratching post and NOT scratch on the couch? I don’t want them to develop that habit and i thought now would be a good time to stop it.
I wounder why my cats claw at things like their clawing post, the couch, and rugs.
I recently got a cat and bought a clawing pole, but she won’t use it, she only claws my couch. Any suggestions on how to get a cat to use the claw pole? I’ve even tried putting catnip on the pole, she still claws my furniture.
My cat goes outside, so I don’t want to take away her defense, I don’t want to have her declawed.
I’ve tried everything, from pine/newspaper litter to crystals. My cat has a mat in front of her covered litter box and still, she tracks it throughout my apartment. It even ends up on my couch and bed! I think I’ve tried pretty much everything, but if you have any ideas, please let me know. Thanks
NJ – She doesn’t track cat litter everywhere on purpose, I’m sure she doesn’t even realize she’s doing it. The problem doesn’t lie with her misbehaving, but with the litter sticking in her paws.
Whenever me and the misses are smoking up our cat Felix comes over, climbs on the couch and sucks up the exhaled smoke. Is it bad for him? Why does he like it?
I recently bought a new couch and i just caught my 14 year old cat scratching it. I really need her to stop doing this but i don’t know how
My cat is about 1 years old, and he’s still got a kitten attitude. He loves to jump around and play fight with our 2 year old Yorkie. He usually can’t sit in one place for very long. He’s an indoor cat, but the other day he ran outside (He likes being outside and tries to get out sometimes) and hopped over our fence after about 20 minutes of lying in the yard, something he doesn’t usually do. Now today, he was a little slurred and he was laying in the top of our couch just staring blankly out the window. He seemed to be breathing heavily and when I tried to feel his chest his back started twitching rapidly and wouldn’t stop until he licked his back. While he was laying on the couch, he got a sort of crazed look, like he saw a bug (there was no bug.) and ran around our living room looking around. Then he hopped back up to his perch on the couch. Another weird thing is that he was letting everyone pet him and he didn’t mind a bunch of people around him. Normally he really only lets me pet him and he gets tired of it after awhile and goes away, and he’s usually not good around a lot of people surrounding him. This was this afternoon, now tonight he was just laying in his litter box, just like lounging. I don’t know what’s wrong. I can just tell somethings up, I can tell he’s acting weird. Help please?
