How do you train a cat to use a cat scratch pad?
The cat scratchpad is designed according to the cat's habit of grinding its claws. The unique claw structure of cats habitually sharpen their claws on floors, furniture and sofas, so cat claws effectively avoid damage to furniture. Cat scratching boards are claw tools provided by breeders for domestic cats kept indoors to avoid the inconvenience of long indoor living and timely nail trimming for cats. Cat scratching boards are available in board form, on posts, wrapped with twine to make them, or wrinkled boards. Declawing surgery for domestic cats is opposed by the CFA, so most breeders purchase the tool.
