Training Your Cat To Stop Scratching - Tips That Really Work

One of the biggest problems with a cat that is continually scratching everything in the house to pieces, is breaking the habit. The catch to this is being there to do it. You may only be in your cats prescience a fraction of the time and catching it scratching your couch or wallpaper is the real key to stopping it from doing any more scratching in future. Finding the Right techniques to stop your cat scratching are the key.

Some crafty hiding round corners can prove useful, once you catch the little terror in the midst of a tear up. A loud bang of a tin tray accompanied with your voice or maybe a water squirt or even a loud electronic siren. Something to break its train of thought and replace it with a new one, something that, over time will form a powerful aversion. When your cat is thinking of scratching, the first thing that is going to spring to mind is the last time it got soaked trying it.

Remember, your cat is smart and crafty, make sure you are one step ahead.
