3. Arm yourself with… smells!
Cats cannot stand the smell of onions, vinegar and citrus fruits. It is better to give preference to the third option, since vinegar evaporates quite quickly, and the smell of onions will be unpleasant for you. Mix lemon (orange, tangerine) aromatic oil with the same amount of eucalyptus in a spray bottle. Spray the resulting band data on furniture, wallpaper or other necessary items. The advantage of this method is that it will not only wean the cat off scratching furniture, but also fill the home with pleasant smells.
Lemon oil
In addition to citrus, you can use various spices. Pour coriander, ground chili pepper or other spices with a strong smell into the bag, then hang it (the bag) in the right place.

The feeling of stickiness is as unpleasant for cats as water procedures, so you can stick double-sided tape on the most attractive places (for example, armrests, the back of furniture).
You can also use a special sticky tape called Sticky Paws, which can be glued almost anywhere – on carpet, upholstery, curtains. Such tapes are almost invisible, and therefore will not spoil the interior of the room.

When trimming the sharp part of the claw, you need to act with extreme caution, otherwise you can harm your pet. It is advisable to entrust this matter to a qualified veterinarian. Although it is quite possible to learn to trim claws yourself. You just need to do it to a certain length and at the required angle, using only special scissors.
