As an owner of a cat, one of your main priorities will be to train your cat to prevent it from scratching your furniture. Not only will this save you money and a great deal of irritation, you will also have a better relationship with your cat.

The first step is to try and understand why a cat will scratch your furniture. Your cat doesn't do this because it wants to annoy you, nor does it purposely set out to do this because it dislikes the furniture you have. Cats have a need to scratch. You can't stop a cat from scratching because it is a natural behavior for it. It is not diificult to train your cat to stop scratching your furniture, all you have to do is to provide a substitue for scratching.

Scratching is part of a cats health regime. When a cat scratches, it is exercising its muscles. Cats mark their territiory through scratching as their paws contain scent glands. A cats claws are kept healthy and clean through scratching. Clearly your cat has reasons to scratch. Instead of preventing this type of behavior, it should be encouraged, although on your terms.

When your cat scratches your furniture, don't even think about punishing it. Cats will not respond to punishment and will increase your cats problems. If you try to punish your cat, all you will do is show the cat that you are someone who must be avoided. If you shoo your cat away if you see it scratching your furniture, it will only carry on doing the same thing when you are not around. The only way you can stop your cat from scratching furniture, is by the correct training.

Along with getting a cat, you should also buy a scratching post at the same time. Even better would be to have more than 1 scratching post, as this gives your cat plenty of options. Cats can be trained at any age, but the earlier you can start, the quicker and easier it will be.

You should place the scratching posts in your cat's favourite places. One of the best places to place a post is near where your cat sleeps. The first thing that a cat likes to do when it wakes up, is to stretch and have a good scratch. You could say that this is a trait that the rest of us share. Once your cat becomes used to using scratching posts, it becomes a habit, and cats are creatures of habit.

Another good place to put scratching post, is in an area where you and other members of the family sit. Cats do like to socialize with members of the family, even though at sometimes seems not to be the case. If your cat decides that it wants to use your lap for a bit of a snooze, it will be handy to have a scratching post nearby when it decides to wake up.

Making a scratching post familiar to a cat is the best way to get it to use it. Get your cat to scratch the post by moving a toy or piece of string up and down it. Try tying some toys that your cat likes onto the scratching post, the enables your cat to touch the post with its paws and claws. These easy techniques will allow you to train your cat so that it no longer uses your furniture for scratching.

Ensure that the post is pretty stable and of a good length. Cat training is not difficult if you use the right methods, and it is easy to train your cat to stop it from ruining your furniture.

Many people don’t understand the reasons why the cat temperament is different to the dog temperament. Some people think that a cat can be trained in a similar way to a dog, This is not the case.

By it's very nature cats prefer solitude, and such was the way before they were domesticated. Cats are solitary hunters and not pack animals. Dogs on the other hand are pack animals by nature, and they survive and thrive in groups. A dog will look at human family members as a pack, and it will acts as part of the pack within whatever role is allocated to it.

The way that the cat temperament is different, is that the cat will regard the people that it resides with as individuals, and not a pack. Dogs don't like to be away from their pack, and in the modern world the dogs owners are the pack. Most of the time cats are pretty content in their own company. However if a cat has from a young age been bought up in an environment where it gets lots of attention, and that attention is removed, it can get bored and start to become destructive. However these types of cats problems will not last, and as soon as you start to give your cat more attention, it should revert to its original habits.

Although cats can be happy in their own company, they do form a bond with their owners. The bond that a cat forms with its owner is important, although a cat will probably try to play it a bit cool compared to a dog.

Another difference between the cat temperament and the temperament of a dog is that a dog will burst with happiness at the slightest bit of attention. Brush it, make eye contact, or just call its name, and the dog will be jumping hoops. The cat does not require help from you to be groomed, it can do this on its own.

Your cat requires varying types of attention, unlike a dog which goes gooey eyed with joy when you just look at it. A cat wants you to make a fuss of it, it will let you know when it gets bored. Your cat will understand the way you say what you say, although it won't have any comprehension of what you are saying. Your cat will respond far better to a calm and soothing voice, instead of a harsh and loud voice. You can learn a great deal about the cat temperament by the body language your pet uses in different circumstances. Pay attention to the way it behaves when it is angry or when it is happy. Start to read the signs as to what your cat is thinking and you will a step closer to understanding the cat temperament.
