Cats scratching furniture can be frustrating, but understanding their behavior can shed light on their motivations. By scratching objects, cats mark their territory and communicate their presence to other cats. It’s a natural instinct rooted in their need for security and ownership. Providing appropriate scratching posts and using cat pheromone sprays can redirect their attention and save your furniture from their territorial claims.
