How to STOP scratching or jumping on furniture or counter tops

[@vitabricksnailslime8273]

Just on scratching poles. Rope is really expensive and cats tend to break it fairly easily. I've found that you can use hessian tape which comes in about 2" wide rolls for upholstery. It's just as effective and much more durable and cheaper than rope. It can be overlapped to double up on the thickness, which is sufficient for them to climb, or even doubled again if you wish to ensure that the claws never hit the support.

[@FeelingShred]

Yeah I've noticed that claps and the Psst sound have been working the best to deter my cat (I still feel bad sometimes, but I feel like it's needed to avoid further problems) She is such a loving cat, very small work needed really. I've also noticed that vinegar keeps her away from places (she even stares me with this angry stare when I did that, it's crazy) but the problem is the next day the vinegar evaporated and there she was again, so I'm trying to look for more permanent solutions.

[@FeelingShred]

This is really funny but I have been noticing, above all, that the cat is showing us spots in the house where we could have been doing a better job, or organizing in a more efficient way. In this way we do not get mad at her and we welcome this opportunity to work on ourselves too. They show us our weak spots the funny little critters =D

[@Krmcgchy]

never knew an automatic spray existed. Might have to look into something like that. My husband has let the cats jump up on the counters and stuff so much whenever he's home they just look at me like what are you going to do when I used to just have to look at them and they would get down. My authority has been undermined by him so much it holds no power. they now jump on the counter to try and get to our food.

[@dandanjordan]

I like the correcting behavior method much like children only I won't spray my cat or inflict fear of any kind.

Hey I sore you and your cats today at your little cat show☺☺☺☺☺

[@meglyo]

Did you ever find out?

[@la-codeband]

Hi great tutorial, I’m up in Brisbane actually ...I have a quick question in regards to retraining one of our cats to use the litter box to poop.. (she’s fine with wee) she was accidentally frightened one day when she was going, and ever since then she goes next to the litter box. How do we change this as it’s very hard to be around at just the right time of the “behavior” so to speak 😉

[@saturniiiidae]

I wish I would have seen this a year ago! My mom declawed our cats and they can’t play and climb their cat tower like they used to :(( my mom didn’t even try to train them she gave up just because they weren’t stopping when she picked them up and took them away from the furniture. That doesn’t teach them anything she just took the easy way out!

I've had my brother-sister pair of cats for a bit over 7 years. About 3-4 years ago, my boy cat began to dominate his sister by biting her on the neck and pushing her to the ground. Now when they walk near each other, my girl cat hisses and growls. Is there a way to reverse this behavior?

If they wanna tear up the furniture, just send their asses outside. There, problem solved

[@callonjesuswaytruthandlife4246]

How about: how to get them to stop peeing on things? He's an only cat, has two litter boxes, is healthy, sweet and friendly but for some reason once in a while he will pee on random things.

[@CallToTheLight]

When you see your cat is going to pee in the wrong place, take your cat and put him in the litter box.

[@tenctzen1184]

If he's an adult cat then he's probably doing this to mark his territory or attract females, this can be fixed by spaying him

Well, a shitload of mousetraps set on the counter has the desired deterrent effect whether you're there or not. And no, I haven't yet "caught" the cat. She will bump one and the reaction often sets off a bunch of others.

i need this because my mom doesn’t want my cat to go on the couch because cat hair

[@jamessmith6333]

Is it cruel to keep your cats inside? The breeder I got him from says that it's better to keep cats inside. Also, my cat is not extremely playful.

[@FeelingShred]

I just adopted this female cat, I have been noticing that we can let the doors open for her to go out freely all day and also at around 8 PM and around 6 AM (the hour when they are at peak energy) The only problematic time to let them go out seems to be around 2 AM, 4 AM, avoid letting the cat out around that time as much as possible. These specific time periods are when they do these "long walks" of theirs, and this is where they can get lost and never come back again :( Read lots of sad stories out there, my heart aches just by the thought of she running away and never returning. Prevention is key. I always thought cats had an enhanced sense of where is "home" and how to trace back their path, but apparently they don't. So it's up for us to take care of them and avoid that from happening.

[@avonavians2860]

It's not usually cruel. Actually, indoor cats often live longer than outdoor ones. Cats that are kept indoors can live as long as 17 years, while even cats that spend only part of their lives outdoors rarely live that long. And obviously, indoor cats are safer from fleas, disease, and predators. If your cat doesn't like playing, then what does he like? Does he like cuddling? Then cuddle him! Does he like being trained? Then train him! Does he like climbing? Then find him somewhere to climb! Find out what he likes, and he will be happy.

[@FeelingShred]

@@avonavians2860 Yes, agree 100%. It's just that this female cat we adopted was from the streets, we suspect she didn't have a house, therefore she has certain "patterns of behavior" programmed inside her head that we're trying to change. We are trying to gradually teach her how to become an indoor cat without pushing too hard or making her depressed. There are days that she begs to get out the door at 4AM, I don't want to see her sad like that. At that specific time in the night, we allow her to go have her walks, she is usually back to the house at around 8 AM. We are trying to figure out the "science" to all this. =D And it has been very fun

[@avonavians2860]

@@FeelingShred It's not usually cruel to keep cats indoors, and neither is it cruel to allow them some time outside. Just beware of the potential dangers of allowing cats outside.

[@FeelingShred]

@@avonavians2860 Some neighbor (a woman) stole the cat. Wife says she even suspects who it is. We don't really have a "healthy" neighborhood around here, there are no front yards, no space between houses, too high density. Not a safe place to let cats out. But the female cat would beg me to go out, so I let her out, usually around 3 AM, to make sure she would come back around 7 AM. Then, one week before disappearing, it was really weird, she stopped using the liter box entirely, she spent the entire day here but didn't even pee. Then, at night she would go out, I thought "better let her make her things outside then". She went out one night and didn't ever get back. I'm still trying to understand why she stopped using the liter box in our house, she had always used it since day 1. Well, she's gone now. We learnt the lesson: in the "slum" we live we can't let cats go out, unfortunately. And it's really sad that in some worse parts of the world there are still people that "put an end" to cats, while dogs are let free to roam everywhere, pooping everywhere. It's really F ing sad.

[@BoleDaPole]

Just declaw them if they scratch and depaw them if they keep jumping on furnature

[@raequelsuina6456]

No please don’t declaw your cats. It has no benefits and hurts the cat

[@emilyeah]

Declawed... you mean don't cut your cat's claws? I'm a recent cat mom, excruciating pain from it burying its claws into my flesh. I cut them. But afterward I felt like I had done him wrong he can't use his paws like he should.

[@kpete9219]

We have had the last 5 cats front paw declawed. My wife is on blood thinners and as wonderful as cats are they can sometimes go into what I call their "crack" time. When they do this they are not concerned about rules. That is when I am concerned my wife may get clawed. As a side note, our cats have all lived at least 15 years and some 19 years. They have no problem with having no claws in the front. They can still catch animals if we were to let them. When I had cats as a kid, they were never declawed and I could remember having scratch mark on my arms almost all the time but they were outside cats with no boundaries.

[@emilyeah]

@@kpete9219 you ever thought about training, playing, getting to know your cats? Our cat doesn't scratch us, since I started listening to his needs, and playing, stimulating him more. He was never really bad, but now he is a total love bug! Very relaxed, now that I hear him when he expresses his needs. No need to declaw, just become more aware and meet them halfway - respect.

[@kpete9219]

@@emilyeah I am happy for you and your cat and I appreciate all the cat lovers who are able to live with cats with all their claws. Our cats were headed for a barn cat's life. They are virtual feral cats when that happens. Besides all the destruction they do to birds, other wildlife and each other when they get into the heat stage, I think we have afforded them a wonderful life. They sure don't hold any resentment! Should they be spayed or neutered? Isn't that cruel too?

[@emilyeah]

@@kpete9219 "headed for a barn cat's life" what do you mean by this?

[@kpete9219]

@@emilyeah Hi Emily. Where I live it is mainly rural living. This means that there are more farmers than others. Many raise/store crops that are very attractive to mice and other vermin. The farmers employ the use of cats to control these pests and they do a GREAT job. There are a couple downsides to this. They let the cats have free range of the farm, including the barn. So the first drawback is that they not only kill pests but they also kill birds, rabbits, chipmunks, etc. and they are VERY good at it. Because these cats breed prodigiously, they soon become a problem. The second drawback is that they have many illnesses and many die young because they do not get the care we give our cats. One of our cats when it was a kitten, was brought by the mother cat out in the field to die. She was rescued because we agreed to adopt her and one of her sisters. When we brought them to the vet to get them spayed, they found she had lacerations on her bladder and it was out of place. The vet corrected the problem, for a considerable fee. We now have two VERY healthy and loving cats, Myrtle and Gertrude or Mert and Gert. I am happy when people are able to raise any animal without any medical intervention but is declawing (front only) worse than letting them be drowned or killed at the Pound? God Bless you and have a GREAT day. I'm going to play with my cats!
