Many cats think they are the owners of this home, so protecting their homes has become their unshirkable responsibility. If cats often grind their claws near the door, this may mean they think a potential "invader" will come in from here.
In addition, cats can sharpen their claws to speed up the fall of old nails and the growth of new nails. There are sweat glands between cats' nails, which can emit a unique smell that belongs to them. As animals with a strong sense of domain, they leave the smell on the territory they have taken for themselves by grinding their claws.
If you raise a cat, you do not have wooden pillars. The owner will find that the furniture naturally becomes a place for cats to practice their claws. This can only blame the cat owner himself. Cats have sharp claws, curved nails, and are weapons for cats to climb, capture prey and defend themselves. When the cat is in a wild state, it climbs and runs away, and part of its nails is naturally worn off. The cat constantly grabs and slashes on the tree trunks, grinding off the overgrown nails. House cats living at home do not have such a large amount of exercise and don’t have to worry about food, so their nails will naturally be too long, and sometimes they even grow into the nail pads, causing inflammation of the nails. House cats have the habit of grinding their claws and are fixed in the same area. To avoid damaging the furniture, it is essential to have special wooden pillars.
It is not that a cat with a wooden pillar will naturally grind its claws, which requires training. First, after the kitten enters the family, prepare a wooden pillar, about half a meter long and 10 to 15 cm square, and place it near the cat's nest, because the cat has the habit of stretching its waist, moving its limbs, and plucking its nails after waking up. If the kitten does not grind its claws on the wooden post, the owner will use his hands to help the cat grind its claws. When there are some secretions of the cat's claws on the wooden post, it will help the cat fix the claws on the wooden post to grind it and exercise according to the smell. The length of the wooden column does not necessarily vary, but the hardness should be solid wood. Wrap a carpet on wooden posts or boards, which is easier to accept by cats. If the carpet is scratched, it does not need to be replaced.
