Why Do Cats Go Crazy on Your Furniture?
Ever found your favorite couch looking like it went through a tiny tiger attack? Here's the scoop on why cats can't resist turning your furniture into their personal scratch pad.
Beauty Routine: Just like we clip our nails, cats scratch to remove old nail husks. They're not sharpening - they're grooming.
Kitty Social Media: Cats leave their "status updates" through scratch marks and scent glands in their paws. Even indoor cats feel the need to post these territorial messages.
Feline Fitness: Scratching is like yoga for cats - it stretches their muscles and keeps their joints limber. That's why they love a good scratch right after nap time.
Stress Relief: When your cat spots a bird outside but can't chase it, scratching helps release that bottled-up excitement.
Why your furniture? Simple - it's stable and satisfying to scratch, just like trees in the wild. Your couch is basically an indoor tree to your cat.
Want to save your furniture? Give kitty some appealing alternatives like scratching posts near their favorite spots. After all, scratching isn't bad behavior - it's just your cat being a cat!
