The texture will stay the same anyway.Ĭats don’t want sticky surfaces. If you think putting a sandpaper or aluminum foil in the legs of your furniture will destroy its view, then try to paint it with a similar color to the furniture. Therefore, if you wrap the legs of the furniture by these things, their paws will feel different and they will not scratch it anymore.
The texture of sandpaper and aluminum foil are different, and the cat doesn’t want to step on that kind of texture. The essential oils like lavender, citronella, lemongrass, and peppermint are also effective cat repellent when mixed with water. They don’t want the scent of the vinegar so when they have smelled it, they will not be interested to go back to that area. When you mix the vinegar and water, put it in a spray bottle then spray it to the area where you don’t want your cat to go. The cats have superior smelling abilities. We only need to do is to put something in their favorite spot. We have this easy do it yourself solution or ways to prevent them from returning to the areas where they should not go. Because even cats have those things they don’t want. So, what we need to do is to think of something natural and unharmful in preventing the cats to go in the restricted areas. These little friends can be trained when they were kittens but it is hard if they are big already. And they have this habit of scratching their claws on the bed, sofa, or legs of the furniture. They keep on returning to the area where they should not go. But they also have this attitude that is annoying. They make us happy when we are sad and we are being entertained by them.
