When faced with the problem of inappropriate scratching, it's important to consider the location of your cat's scratching post. The actual location can be critical to a cat's sense of well-being. This is because cats love to scent mark when they're happy. It tells the world that this is their territory and that within this territory, life is good. Without the ability to share this message appropriately, a cat will scratch the next best thing in their territory, perhaps a couch or some drapes.

Anyone living with a cat will have noticed them rubbing up against things (people included) when they are content. This is another form of scent marking that sends the same kind of message. When a cat's scratching post is located away from the human's center of activity, the cat is unable to "communicate" that they are feeling content and happy in that area. Instead, they may choose to leave their scent on the things closest to their caretakers, most notably where they seem to spend the most time – for example, living room furniture.

Quite frequently, however, just moving your cat's scratching post (or adding a second post) to the area where humans tend to congregate will eliminate the inappropriate scratching altogether. It's important to also provide positive reinforcement to encourage your cat's use of the newly relocated post – praise, petting and treats when they scratches the post are all good choices.

Another consideration is the texture (or surface) of the scratching post. Some cats just don't like to scratch on the carpeted posts that are so common in most cat households, and simply switching to a different texture might eliminate inappropriate scratching.

It might be necessary to experiment a bit to see what your cat likes. Some cats like wood, some like cardboard, and some insist on sisal fiber. Still, others like a combination of two or more textures. Look at the textures your cat currently likes to scratch for clues on the types of surfaces she prefers. If your cat is using the couch, a carpeted post might be a good substitute. If she claws wood or wicker furniture, you may want to try wood and sisal posts. If she's shredding paper, try a cardboard scratcher.

If finding the correct surface didn't solve the problem, consider that many cats have strong preferences regarding scratching post incline as well. Some cats only like to scratch things placed flat on the ground (horizontal), while others like them as vertical as possible. Of course, there are also those that will only use something in between the two extremes.

Again, experiment to see what your cat enjoys best. A good indication as to your cat's preferences regarding orientation lies in your home. Again, look at what your cat scratches now. If it's along the top of a sofa or on the carpet, she will most likely enjoy flat/horizontal scratching surfaces. If it's up higher, such as on the arms of a chair or on drapes, a vertical post will probably be most suitable. If your cat does both, try a blend of the two in a sloped scratching post.

Finding the "right" scratching post with both a texture and orientation your cat likes and then placing it in the location your cat enjoys most can take some time and detective work. However, when you consider the amount of personal property you may save from destruction, the effort is certainly worth it!

Upping the stakes by using catnip or a pheromone-based product called Feliway may also speed up the process of getting your cat to use the appropriate scratching equipment. If your cat likes catnip (not all cats do), it may entice your cat to use the post more quickly and more frequently.

Feliway comes in small spray bottles and simulates the "happy pheromones" released from a cat's cheek and paw glands when she scratches or rubs up against items in your home. Spraying Feliway on the surfaces where you don't want your cat to scratch makes her think these areas have already been marked. This way she will feel more relaxed about not putting her scent in the same place. When she smells the Feliway, she will think, "Oh – I've already done that area" and move on to her scratching post.
