Do you want to know why cats scratch
Even cats that roam freely outside look for something when indoors that they can scratch.
There are several reasons why a cat needs to scratch:
They will scratch to sharpen their claws.
They will show their superiority over weaker cats.
They will be exercising the extension and retraction of their claws.
They will be marking their territory.
They might even be getting rid of anger or frustration.
You can see there are many reasons why cats we need to scratch, but you certainly don't want them to use your furniture as the scratching pad therefore it is a good idea to supply the cat with a good scratching pad and let them know that that is what it is intended to be used for. Put the scratching post in a place that is easily accessible to the cat particularly when it is finished eating or grooming itself and is likely to feel like having a scratch.More on cats scratch
