Use catnip to entice your cats to scratch

About 65% of all cats love catnip. They go crazy when they smell this delicious goodness. Sprinkling or spraying catnip onto a surface will entice your cat to scratch in that spot. Encourage your cat to scratch on its scratcher to prevent damage to your furniture. Does your cat not respond to catnip? Try silver vine instead!

Clip your cat’s nails regularly
