14 Gambiarras that are a hand in the wheel for those who have cats

Over time, cat owners acquire knowledge that allows them to solve virtually any “feline” problem quickly. They learn to calm the kitty in times of stress, to make pets abandon bad habits and are even able to, in about 3 minutes, build a scratching post that is very well received by these animals. But above all, the “gateeiros” are always willing to share their experiences with other lovers of these animals.

O awesome.club felt inspired by the creativity of cat owners and set about producing a post to share effective tips and tricks with you.

You can reassure your cats with the help of these treats that can be stuck on any flat surface. Animals love to lick these jelly candies, so they will have a good time entertained with a delicious pastime. If you don’t have this product at home, throw some water on the cats; they will calm down and start licking their own body.

Cats are not against the idea of ​​grooming themselves. Just fix a brush (it could be a massager you no longer use) on a wall or on the foot of a table. Your pet will run to rub itself there.

Proven method: put some dry green tea at the bottom of the box.

When the cat thinks that using the litter box is being uncomfortable, he ends up looking for more comfortable places. In these cases, he tries to put something soft in the box: pieces of fabric, newspaper or a little soil.

Place dried stiff flowers or marbles in the vase. The cat will find it uncomfortable to climb up there, leaving your plants alone.

It takes time to get one animal to get used to another. In many cases, a long time. In the initial phase, you can bet on shelves and bridges, creating additional spaces, since the lack of them is often the cause of fights.

You can train your cat using masking tape: cut a few pieces and place them on the table with the sticky side facing up. This gambiarra helps to discourage the kitty from climbing in forbidden places.

If you spray catnip all over the scratching post, the animals will be happy to use it. Some scratching posts even come flavored with this herb.

Cats use the sofa or other soft surfaces when they have no choice. Buy or build a scratching post and temporarily place protective plastic on the affected furniture. If you don’t have any plastic that you can use, cover the “destruction” site with cardboard and then place the same cardboard on the floor. The object will draw your cat’s attention.

Wrap a table leg with rope or sisal and show your pet that he can sharpen his nails there.

It is possible to build a fun toy using shoeboxes and tubes of toilet paper or paper towels. Generally, these objects are very successful among cats, who think there is a pet hiding inside, and they keep putting their paws in an attempt to capture it.

Cats love high places, but both animals and furniture often suffer from failed jump attempts. To avoid the problem, make a ramp for the pussy. Wrap rope around a board or piece of wood, supporting the surface with something firm.

It’s easy to use a large cardboard box to make a house. Just cut a door and place something soft both inside the box and on top of it.

Pruned tree branches that you can find in parks or even on the streets can serve as raw material for a complete amusement park. The key is to strengthen the structure well. For this you can use nails and brackets.
