Why We Shred Your Sofa (It's Not Personal) | Animals Explain | Toulouse

Why do cats scratch furniture? Cat scratching is normal cat behavior used for claw maintenance, stretching, territorial marking, and other important feline operations. Toulouse understands that humans get strangely emotional about sofas. Yes, you spent real money on it. Congratulations. But scratching is not a criminal hobby cats invented to destroy your property. If you want the sofa to survive, Toulouse recommends providing a scratching post that is tall enough, stable enough, and placed somewhere your cat actually uses. From Toulouse’s perspective, hiding a tiny scratching post in an unused corner and then getting angry when the sofa gets scratched is a management problem. A real cat explaining cat behavior, scratching furniture, scratching posts, and human decision-making from a cat’s perspective. #CatBehavior #CatScratching #ScratchingPost #CatCare #AnimalsExplain
