What do you think about their comment:
"And: When you teach your cat to scratch on carpet cat furniture, the cat will probably also scratch on the carpet in your home, not only the cat furniture. " Is that true? |

" Is that true? I haven't had any problems like that. Both Duffy and Holly (aka BBC - "beautiful black cat") love the cat tree I got from CreateACatCondo. They play on it, scratch on it, etc. I also have a selection of scratching posts that they use regularly. Duffy even scratches on the horizontal carpet-covered post that I installed above the computer as a "safety rail" (because he would hang off the edge, and since he is blind I was worried that he might sometime fall onto the hard corners of the computer). But: neither cat *ever* scratches on the carpeting on the floor, and neither scratches on furniture. You can see some pictures of Duffy and Holly on their cat tree if you will click on the second link under my signature. There is also a picture that shows how the cat tree is delivered from CreateACatCondo -- it looks sort of like a mummy. It is delivered completely assembled and shipping is included in the cost, so it is not as pricey as it appears when you first look at the prices. I sound like a salesperson for them, but this really is the sturdiest and best-made cat tree I have seen.

So if I get a fancy "cat condo" so she can scratch as well as perch,
how many other small scratching posts should I have throughout the house? I'd plan to put her litter box on the upper floor, condo and food on the main floor, and we also spend time in the basement, which is finished. Another claw question (remember, I'm new to cat behavior), when she's content, she "kneads" her paws/claws. I know she's just being happy, but it hurts the legs when she's in your lap. Can a cat be made to understand that her claws cause pain, or do you just get used to it? My son got an awakening today. He was trying to get her to play with a little stuffed animal. When she finally did make a grab for it, he wasn't ready, and ended up with a Band-Aid. I think he respects the claws now. :-) |
