"The cat is an animal very attached to its territory. In order to preserve it from intrusions, it marks its property by depositing its smell in different ways.

Through this report, we will be particularly interested in "claws" that tend to degrade our interiors, note however that the cat can also mark his territory by friction or urinating.

Marking his territory with scratches is a mark more complete, it is both visual and olfactory. The pads on the legs of the cat allow to deposit pheromones on the elements that claw. The cat often makes his claws on so-called central furniture, because they are very used by the owners and visible immediately when one enters the room.

When your cat walks on its territory and finds its olfactory marks, it has a reassuring and soothing effect for him. The absence of its marks or the meeting of the olfactory mark of another cat creates in him an emotional instability even an anxiety. It then proceeds to an exacerbated marking which becomes an annoying behavior for the master.

The cat does not have the feeling to destroy by performing this ritual, but simply to mark its territory. This is a natural and instinctive behavior in the cat. It is difficult to counter this. However, it is possible to redirect the cat, either to another type of marking, or by positioning other types of scratching posts, not far from where the cat spontaneously chooses to scratch itself. It is also possible to put a cat tree available.
