Hi! I have a rescue kitten who is almost 4 months old. We've trimmed his claws and put soft paws on him (though half fell off and we haven't replaced due to his ringworm, but that another story!). However, he will not use a scratcher. He tends to scratch on whatever is in front of him where he is whether it's carpet, furniture, or my jeans. He's ruined a good three pairs of jeans already. I have tried to go put him on the cardboard scratcher if he's scratching, laced it with catnip and tried playing with toys on it. He's not interested. Help! I don't want to drop a lot of $ on more scratchers that he won't use (I'm already in for quite a bit with the ringworm costs). Any suggestions? I don't want to declaw him, so I'm hoping for a way to help him learn. Thanks!
