How to train cats to catch and crawl? Cat training should start from childhood! Cats are naturally sharpened. In order to avoid cats from scratching furniture, parents can use cat crawlers and other training cats to catch and crawl correctly. The method is very simple, let’s learn about it together. Claw grinding is a habit of a cat, so it is impossible to stop grinding it. For kittens, their claws are their most powerful weapon, so they must often grind off their aging horny to make them extremely sharp. In addition, grinding claws is also to show your own power and increase the smell. There are odor glands inside the cat's forefoot, so it grinds its claws to leave its own odor.

In training cats, grinding the claws is the most difficult thing. Therefore, it should be done before the kitten has scratched the furniture.

Cats have the habit of slashing immediately after waking up, and like to slash objects around the cat's nest to move and relax their forelimbs and claws. Therefore, when training its scratching behavior, wooden boards or wooden pillars should be placed near the cat's nest as much as possible. As the cat grows up, the size of the wooden pillars or planks should be appropriately increased, and the wooden pillars or planks can be fixed to the wall near the cat's nest.

First, you need to prepare a special claw grinding tool. Although there are many types of products sold on the market, they are also very good at making it. First place a thick wooden pillar about 70 cm long, about 20 cm in diameter or a wooden board about 37 cm long and about 20 cm wide near the cat's nest. It can be placed horizontally at the beginning to facilitate the kitten to climb up and down on it, so that the cat can find the parts they are willing to grab.

If the kitten does not scratch, the owner can gently stroke the cat's head with his hands and press down on his head, forcing it to scratch the wooden pillars or wooden boards, but the movement must be light. After the wooden pillar or wooden board is scratched by a cat, the gland secretions on its feet are applied to the wooden pillar or wooden board. Under the scent of its own secretion, it will scratch on the wooden pillar or wooden board.
