When you decide to use the Cardboard Scratching Pad to train your cat, consider the location. It is important to choose a place where your cat often moves, such as an area where he often rests or stretches, or a place not far from his favorite furniture. This way, your cat will find the Scratching Pad more easily and will naturally use it when he needs to scratch.
Once you have chosen the right location, you can take some measures to direct your cat's attention. You can use some toys that cats like, or some items with catnip ingredients, which usually attract cats' interest. When your cat approaches the Scratching Pad and starts scratching, it is very important to give positive encouragement in time. You can give it some small snacks as a reward, or praise it with a gentle voice, which can enhance the cat's enthusiasm for using the Scratching Pad.
During the training process, be sure to avoid using any negative punishment measures, such as spraying water or yelling. These may make your cat feel disgusted with the Scratching Pad and be counterproductive. Training a cat requires patience and continuous effort. Don't expect immediate results. Sometimes it takes multiple repetitions and careful guidance.
To increase the likelihood that your cat will use the Scratching Pad, you can provide multiple Scratching Pads at home, which can be placed in different places so that your cat can find and use them at any time. It is also a very important step to regularly check the wear of the Scratching Pad and replace it in time to maintain the attractiveness and effectiveness of the Scratching Pad.
