Reddit mentions of Omega Paw SB Scratch Box

No, my cats won't use a scratching post either. But those cardboard trays, those they love. Though over the years I have all but eliminated anything they can scratch except the trays. But they do seem more than willing to use them. You put catnip on the tray and within a few minutes they are sharpening their claws on it.

But I won't get mine declawed. Not only is it mean to them but if they ever get out they might not be able to escape from dogs or mean people if they were clawless.

We used a combination of double sided tape and squirt guns.

We put double sided tape on surfaces our cat wanted to scratch but we didn't want her to, cats generally don't like the sticky surface so they learn that it feels weird. You have to deal with double sided taped surfaces for a while but it's nice that the cat can't sneakily scratch things. We also provided the cat with acceptable things to scratch; scratching post, or this thing our cat loves it.


And Squirt gun for when she went up on the table or the counter. We would just shoot her with the water gun, she hates water and would jump off quickly. We also do have a location up high the cat is allowed to walk on, they like being up high so they can see everything.

I also trained the cat to sit on command, that required a good amount of patience and about a half pound of sliced turkey.
