    I’ve read everything and she won’t stop scratching the carpet

    Hi, recently my partner moved in with me and brought his cat with him. She’s generally very well behaved but one thing I really don’t like is how she scratches my rug upstairs. most of her stuff is upstairs (the carpet is also upstairs) because my dog doesn’t go upstairs, and we have space...

    Cat scratcher for a carpet scratching kitty?

    I have no shortage of quality scratching posts in the home. My previous kitty loved to scratch both down (the carpet) and up (she would cross a room for a good post.)

    Scratching up the carpet in attempts to escape?

    We moved to rent a new house back in May, and my roommate's cat has to stay in my room because my other roommate has a cat of their own and they haven't been introduced yet. Introduction has been slow, since the one in my room is very nervous and lashes out at her when he's frightened. I don't...

    Cat won't stop scratching the carpet—I feel like I've tried everything.

    I have two cats: a one-year-old named Lupin and a 10-month-old named Taro. Ever since Lupin was a kitten, he loved scratching carpet. He has tons of energy in general; I never saw myself getting two cats, but his play aggression got pretty bad as he got older, so I ended up adopting Taro when...

    Carpet scratching advice

    I have two cats and for the most part scratching isn’t an issue. But the little one will NOT stop scratching one of my carpets. They have multiple vertical and horizontal scratchers both upstairs and downstairs so that there’s always one of each type available if the other cat is using one. I’ve...

    Scratching Carpet By Food Like She’s Covering Poo.

    My cat often eats, then scratches the carpet like she’s covering a poo, which she doesn’t do in the litter box. I’ve never had a cat do this before and have no idea why she does. Thoughts?

    Carpet Scratching

    So long story short I live in an apartment. I know I will probably end up losing my deposit on the place if Toby doesn't stop scratching at the carpet.

    Advice needed urgently: new cat, my apartment floor is all carpet, he won't stop scratching

    Since it's all carpet, I can't use a repellent because then he would have nowhere to walk! I've been giving him alternative objects to scratch -- scratcher from store, old foam mattress topper, cardboard boxes, my bedsheets-- but he keeps going back to the carpet. Maybe it's anxiety related...
