Why does a cat scratch furniture and how to stop it?

Cat Litter Furniture

Cat litter furniture is one of my favorite furniture. As I am also an owner of the cat so I can really understand the problems arise while dealing with the indoor cats.

Worst of all when there is an unbearable smell that comes with the use of open up litter. But for the solution of the particular problem there is enclosed cat litter furniture which can easily stop the bad odor.

The enclosed cat litter furniture is very beneficial and comes at the top when it comes to indoor cat toilets.

Litter trays are generally left open to the home environment which means any bad smells are free to spread throughout the home. This can be quite unbearable if your cat has a diarrhea.

The enclosed litter boxes prevent the smell from traveling further. It consists of the box in which the tray is placed. An enclosed style entry means the furniture piece is completely sealed.

If there is open cat litter furniture and you have it in any corner of the room then it can create the unattractiveness. It can be a burden when you have to move it from there when some friend or relatives come to visit your place.

But if there is enclosed cat litter furniture then it can easily merge with the décor of the home because of the wooden cover. Also, the bad smell just remains there in the enclosed one and does not spread around the room.

Even you can enhance the beauty with placing any vase, sculpture, or any decoration piece on the top of the oak or pine box.

The enclose box is also a space saver and comes with storage space for the everyday supplies needed and utensils for changing a used litter tray. One of the enclosed one comes with the built in shelves and drawers which can be found above the space where enclosed boxes are positioned.

Save Your Furniture with the Help of Cat Scratch Posts

Mostly cats love to scratch the things with their sharp nails. If you have cats in your home and you have not provided any cat scratch posts to them then cats would damage your furniture, carpets, and curtains to fulfill their desire of scratching.

You must have to consider the cat’s need of scratching and provide any alternative to it like cat scratch posts. Among all the methods, most people find this solution to be the easiest, most effective, and most natural.

The ready made cat scratch posts are available at your local pet stores. If you observe that your cats start clawing your couch, carpet or anything else that you do not want to be scratched or damaged then just pick up your cats and leave them on the posts to scratch.

You can teach your cats to scratch these posts and with the help of this method you can easily save your precious furniture. On the other hand you are also providing the place for fun to cats and it is also very entertaining and fun for the owner to watch his kitties while playing.

You can choose the cat scratch posts while considering different tips. The first one in the beginning is to try to provide one post for each cat in your household.

Once the problem is under your control then you can remove the ones which are not used. The three feet high post is the good one for the cats so they can stretch up with their full strength without being able to reach the edge.

The cat scratch posts should be stiff at their place. Cats may not like the ones which can easily fall over and do not firm at their place. The material which is used in the posts must be tough so that when cats scratch them they enjoy it and also the cat can leave the frays and marks on the material.
