Posted by Jeanne on March 2, 2009

Scratching is a territorial instinct where cats mark and establish their turf. They mark their domains with more than just visible signs of claw marks. There are scent glands in caw’s paws that leave a special scent on their territory.

Scratching also helps keep your cat stay in shape. He is actually getting the exercise that he needs. When he claws, he is able to stretch, pull, and work the muscles in his front quarters.

He also scratches because it feels good!

If you want your cat to stop scratching your furniture, you need to invest in a good scratching post.

Why Is My Cat So Curious?

Cats are very curious. You have probably heard the saying that involves curiosity killing the cat. This is why they climb and explore everything that they can. This is an instinctive behavior that can often get your cat into a lot of trouble. This is why you need to make sure that your house is cat proofed so that your cat doesn’t harm himself while exploring.

If there is a comfy spot, they will nest in it.
If there is a food smell, they will get to it.
If there is a protected spot, they will retreat to it.
If there is an unexplored spot in their domain, they will explore it.

This is THE CAT…
