You come down one morning with a cup of coffee, smiling to yourself and ready to sink into your new chair. That’s when you see scratch marks down the side of your brand-new couch. When a cat scratches any surface, sweat travels from its paws down its claws and into the surface they are scratching. This sweat contains pheromonesthat cats’ sensitive noses can smell. By scratching, cats mark their territory so other cats know to stay out of this area. If your cat’s paws are always dirty, you don’t have to resign yourself to a life of cleaning. Here are ways to lessen the filth your cat accumulates on its paws. Use A Litter MatLitter boxes aren’t the only reason for a cat’s dirty paws. Your floors, too, can be a culprit. The feline may be traipsing through dust, dirt, and random spills throughout the day. By vacuuming, sweeping, or mopping your floors once a week (or more often), the cat won’t struggle to maintain its grooming habits. Keep Your Cat Indoors

This is a valid question, especially if you’ve looked online and found that they seem to be hit or miss. Anti-scratch sprays can work well, but they won’t be foolproof or long-term. You have to apply them every few hours, and cats can adjust to them over time, which means they’re likely to scratch anyway. What can you spray on leather to keep cats away? That mixture will need to be 5-parts water to 1-part shampoo. Dip a rag in the mixture, press it against the cat’s foot for 1-2 minutes, and wipe off the poop. Resembling a city skyline, this scratcher has three sisal-covered vertical posts at heights of 30.5 inches, 22 inches, and 16.5 inches arranged together at the center of a broad rectangular base. The base is covered in scratchable artificial turf. After six months, the scratcher's sisal is a little shaggy but still looks nice overall.

Inspect the paws: Do a routine inspection at least twice a day. Look for dirt, cuts, or stains. This helps you know when grooming is needed but also gets your cat used to the process. According to Calder and Sanchez, nail caps can be a good solution for preventing damage without removing a cat's ability to practice the innate behavior of scratching. While it's important to teach a cat to focus their scratching on posts and pads, in the short term, "these nail caps may be just the relief your furniture needs," says Sanchez.
