Cats love to scratch and sometimes walls become a victim of their scratching behavior. It's important to train your cat and provide them with the appropriate scratching surfaces to redirect their behavior. Here are some tips to prevent your cat from scratching the walls:

  • Provide appropriate scratching surfaces like scratching posts, pads, and trees. Make sure they are sturdy and tall enough for your cat to fully stretch their body.
  • Place the scratching surfaces in strategic locations where your cat tends to scratch the most. Consider placing them near walls or furniture that your cat has previously scratched.
  • Trim your cat's claws regularly to reduce the damage caused by scratching.
  • Use double-sided tape or aluminum foil on the walls to discourage your cat from scratching there.
  • Spray citrus-scented or cat deterrent spray on the walls to make them less appealing to your cat.
