Clawing Personality?

How to Safely Modify Your Cat’s “Scratching Fever”

Perhaps you’re in the kitchen sautéing up some delicious vegetables for dinner or curled up in bed with a hot cup of tea and a book. Then you hear it, that gnawing, irritating sound that means your cat is introducing her claws to your new, over-priced sofa.

However, there are helpful ways to guide your feline to more positive scratching behavior, so you, your cat and your furniture can live harmoniously.
