Why Is Scratching so Important for Cats?
When we decide to take care of cats, we know very well that this mean sharing not only our home but our lives as well. We must learn to understand and accept their normal behavior. Scratching for one is one instinct they have that we must deal with.

Here are some reasons why cats scratch:

Marking: This is to leave a visual and olfactory (through the scent glands on their paws) territorial marks to other cats.
Removing their claw's outer layer: Overgrown claws may lead to pain, infection and walking difficulties.
Relieving Stress: Our little felines tend to release frustrations using their claws.
Exercise: They love a bit of stretching and flexing too.
Exuberance: Just because it feels so good.
