How do I get my spoiled siamese cat to scratch scratching post and not the sofa?

Posted by admin
♥Alexandra♥ asked:


My cat keeps scratching the sofa but not the scratching post! She doesn’t even touch the post but she always scratches the sofa. If I put catnip on the post she just snifs it for a minute or two and walks away! If I show her she won’t listen. What should I do to get her to scratch the darn post!

      Most of times posts don’t really work…My grandma used to own a Siamse cat, she always buys a rectangle box installed with cut up cardboards inserted in it, it does really work and it takes a while for it to wear out..You can find them in pet stores. I think it is because the carpet on the posts doesn’t give cats any satisfication, they need something harder to stratch their nails off… Hope that helps!
