The appearance of a cat in the house brings a lot of positive emotions to the owners. But, in addition to joy, raising a kitten can cause a number of problems, among which is the love of a pet for swinging on curtains.
It is necessary
- - sprinkler with water;
- - claws.
Instructions
Step 1
It is difficult, but possible, to wean a kitten from climbing curtains. The most radical way is to try to fix the curtains at the top above the reach or remove them for the period of accustoming the kitten to the rules of conduct in the house. This is ugly, but when the kitten gets used to playing with its toys and sharpening its claws in the designated place, the curtains will not be of interest to it.
Step 2
Spread citrus peels next to the curtains, or use citrus essential oils to flavor the curtains. Since cats do not tolerate such odors, the kitten will not wobble on the curtains.
Step 3
If you see an animal sneaking up on curtains with the clear intention of hanging, spray it with water or make a loud, harsh sound. It could be a clap of the newspaper or just a scream. Repeat this until the kitten is convinced that all his attempts to play with the curtains are leading to trouble.
Step 4
Do not leave your pet alone in a room with long curtains. The temptation will be too great and the likelihood of damage to the curtains will increase.
Step 5
Monitor the condition of your nails by trimming them regularly. If the kitten has nothing to cling to the fabric, then the meaning of climbing on the curtains will be lost.
Step 6
Buy a special pole with a platform or a tree for your kitten to climb up. This will help organize your leisure time and shift attention away from the curtains.
