Hi - I have 8 cats and they all are well taken care, vetted and loved and all rescues. The last two I adopted are now 10 months old - both boys. One has been real good about using all the scratching posts and rarely scratches on anything else - the other is another story! Jimmy seems to be a little behind in development from his littermate brother - he is terror with scratching and I am reaching out for more assistance. We have nice scratching items throughout the house. I taken him from whatever he is scratching at the time and place him by a scratching post and he will immediately use that - then goes right to something else to scratch! He has literally peeled off 3-4 feet of wallpaper in the bathroom, and the curtains are trash. I accidentially closed him in a room and he tore up the carpet by the door. He is working on the oak paneling in several places. I am at my wits end on how to stop this. His brother used to be slightly like this, but now uses the scratchers pretty regular. Any suggestions?
