Carlos, a veterinarian, explains why cats climb furniture and how to stop them. He covers practical solutions like removing temptation, creating better climbing spots, and using deterrents on tables, counters, sofas, and shelves.
Look how white the kitten is. He's already up on the furniture again, and I don't like him doing that. There must be some solution. Hey, wait a minute. If I'm a vet, I should know. Hi, I'm Carlos and I'm a vet. Welcome to the Happy Pets and Families Channel. It's a fact cats like to be up high. They feel safe there and can see all their domain. But the thing is that sometimes they go up to places that you don't like so much. With this video, I'm going to give you the definitive solution so that your cat stops going up to places where he shouldn't. Like the shelves where you leave the beautiful ceramics that your grandmother gave him. Or on top of the stove where the ceramic hob may be hot and could cause your cat to burn his paws. And also flower pots, beds, sofas. Well, all those places that I know bother many of you, too. What we want to do with this video is redirect your cat's healthy and natural behavior to places where it is allowed and safe for them. Such as a scratching post with different heights, a bed near the window, or a shelf or bookcase where there is nothing they can knock over and hurt themselves. It is not about telling them you miss ifu can't get on the bed. No, not on the table either. No, not on the sofa either. And let's not give them any place where they can develop their feline behavior. Because after all, this is part of what I say so many times. Cat ify your cat's environment, make your home also theirs and make them feel comfortable in your home. Also, something very important. If we want to redirect our cat's behavior, we should never ever scold them, tell them off, or raise our voice at them. That will not solve anything. It will only make your cat distrust you and not want to come near you. So let's start with the tricks. Prevent your cat from climbing or digging in your pots. A very typical place for cats to climb is in our pots because there they find soil to explore and dig in. If you want to prevent your cat from taking a special interest in your plants, we have to make sure that the soil doesn't seem to attract their attention. To do this, cover the surface with large tree bark or very large stones that will make the surface seem uneven and prevent them from climbing on it. A good option for these cases would be is also biodegradable is pine cones, not fruit cones. You can put these on top of the soil in the pots so that your cat won't dig or want to explore them. Other things that you can put on top of the soil are, for example, lemon or orange peels, which are citrus fruits that our cats don't usually like. And of course, if you have plants at home, make sure they are safe for cats. If you want to know what they are, I'll leave a video below in the description box. By the way, maranta is safe for cats. And now, what you are probably looking for in this video, the trick to prevent your cat from climbing on surfaces like the kitchen tables where Tor is right now, the living room furniture or any type of shelf. This trick works for surfaces that are hard. First, we have to make sure our cats don't find those areas attractive. Avoid giving them food while you're preparing yours. For example, don't leave things thawing on the stove or clean the kitchen counter with substances that attract them such as bleach, chlorine or bleach, which is an aroma that cats really like. Instead, use other products such as diluted ammonia, enzymatic cleaners or other lemon based products. Lemon? Yes. There are some products that have a lemon scent and then the cat doesn't like them. There are people, for example, who use vinegar with bicarbonate, which is a powerful cleaner safe for cats and they don't like the smell at all. Well, anyway, we can be creative in this regard, but always using things that are not toxic to cats or that we rinse very well so that there are no residues left. If this were not enough, we are going to make the surface uncomfortable for our cat. What do I mean? When your cat tries to climb to those areas, it will find something it doesn't expect and that it doesn't like at all. For example, we can use adhesive tape with the sticky side up to put it on the edge. That way when your cat tries to climb up, it will touch it with its little paws and it won't like it. Therefore, it will say, oh, oh, I better not climb there. I'll go find another place. Another alternative to adhesive tape could be aluminum foil. Cats don't like aluminum foil at all. In fact, if it is even slightly wrinkled, they usually find it quite unpleasant to touch. And we have another it makes a little noise when touched. And our feline companions don't like that at all when they're stealthily searching our homes. But you can do many more things. There are people who are very clever and create noise traps for cats. How do you do that? Put a string around the area of the kitchen where we grab to open the furniture, attach cans or something that makes noise to one end. If our cat tries to climb up and propel itself, the string may fall and the cans will hit the floor. Your cat won't like that and will probably stop trying to climb up to that area. And yes, I know this is a bit of a cumbersome solution, but obviously you're not going to keep your home like this forever. When your cat tries several times to access that area and finds something it doesn't like, it will probably start to redirect its behavior to other places. And now let's move on to human resting areas. Hey, I know there are some people who don't mind their cat getting on the couch, but since this channel is for everyone, here's your solution. Prevent your cat from seeing the couch as a place to rest by putting cushions on the entire couch. This will make the surface uneven and your cat probably won't like lying there. I understand that you might not like your cat sleeping on the couch because it takes up space, but you can put a blanket on the armrest here so your cat has a comfortable place to be and spends its hours sleeping near you. Milu, for example, does it this way. And by using her blanket, the hairs will stay there. It won't ruin the upholstery or get it dirty. All advantages. And your cat might not like this solution with the cushions and continue using the couch. In any case, if it leaves hair on you, you have to be aware that you live with a cat. You have to put up with it. And now let's talk about cats that jump on beds. This isn't about whether or not your cat sleeps with you. It's more like you have your bed made and for whatever reason, your cat jumps on it to rest and you don't like it. There is a solution for these situations. It seems a bit rudimentary, but it usually works. You can cover the bed with plastic. Cats don't like the texture of plastic, and again, it's it makes a bit of noise. This stops many cats from using these areas to rest. But I have to think about something. If your cat is sleeping on the sofa or on your bed looking for comfortable places to sleep, it's probably because they don't like their resting areas. There are many people who don't know how to get their cat to sleep on the bed, and I've already talked about this on the channel. To do this, watch the video I've left for you below. Oh, by the way, a bonus. Avoid Using this type of device at all costs, these spikes do absolutely nothing. They can be dangerous for the cat and can frustrate your feline companion. Do not use them as a solution in these cases, nor can they be used to prevent the cat from entering a certain area. I have also come across people who put them at the doors of rooms where they do not want the cat to enter. Cats can jump that distance without any problem, and if, for whatever reason, they do not manage to do so, will hurt themselves. And as you can see, all the solutions I have given you are always aimed at the same thing, making the surface uncomfortable for your cat. These solutions may not work specifically with your feline companion. What we want is for you to understand the psychology of a cat so that you can look for other solutions that may also be useful and valid. And I repeat, to make it clear with this video, what we want is for your cat to have safe places for him. Not that the whole house is forbidden and that we are bothered by him getting up everywhere, that we only want our cat to be on the floor. Not that. And now something very important. Did you know these tricks to keep your cat from jumping on things or something even more important? Do you have any other tricks that I haven't mentioned? Well, leave me a comment because this will be useful to everyone. And. And it's even more important that if you like the video, give it a like and subscribe to the channel if you haven't already. If you Click the bell, YouTube will notify you when we have a new video. We also have a secondary channel called Questions and Answers from a Veterinarian where you can find a video of ours every day with short questions. And before we leave, we meet Cenics, who is resting peacefully in the sun in Cardagena and greets us from there with Maribel, his human from Mexico. We meet a large feline family. Over here we have a yellow fat cat. They greet us with Alicia Martinez. And if the other one was a large family, this one is even larger. Malo, Lola, India, Oliver, Abril and Micho greet us. They are all rescued and live with Lily Fabro. Thank you very much for following the Happy Pets and Families channel. And we'll see you in the next video watching him. I start the video watching Totoro and look how I don't like it. Oh, there's the cat up there again. Look at it. There's the cat up there again. How can I? Oh, I don't have to look at the camera. Look at that plan. There's the cat up there again. There's the cat up there again. I'm not looking at you. You don't make me nervous. I'm not looking at you. Look, look up here in the air. I'm looking at you. I'm going. I don't know what I prefer. Do you want me to fart like. Come on, get down, please. A good option for these cases, and that is also biodegradable, are pineapples. Pineapples. They are pineapples. Pineapples. Because I mean the wine pineapple, not the fruit pineapple. And also, I'm going to make a mistake again. I. No, that noise is going to scare you, right? Oh, and I have to explain it to you, right? The thing about the little bed comes with the bed. But hey, there may also be people who don't want to use that place. I don't know, because the upholstery is very expensive. And also the person is a bit. Well, I was going to say the person is not a bit stupid, right? Anyway, damn, your mother doesn't want to. She doesn't get on the couch with her blanket. Well.
