Post by: betsy on July 31, 2008, 18:03:05 PM

My mum has a cat been with her for a few months now and well settled , only problem is hes taken a  liking to one particular piece of wallpaper and keeps scratching at it !!!
Any advice to keep him away from it, have already tried that feliway spray and have put the scratching post next to the wall but not worked !!! :innocent:

Sticky paws might help (http://www.woofnwhiskers.co.uk/sticky-paws-p-556.html)  a cheaper alternative is double sided sticky tape.

Another good idea is to get a good scratching post if she hsn't already got one.  If the kitty is scratching the wallpaper on a corner you could fix a corner scratching post onto the wall over the point where he does it.

What type of scratching post is it? Natural sisal is good for clawing.  Have you tried dosing it with cat nip?
