Sometimes things aren't as straight forward as they seem, and as a fairly new cat owner (x3) that's definitely the case. Our kitten, 2yr, and 3 YO cats all get on well , but as I'm sure others do, they love scratching at the bottom stair carpet. another favourite patch is by our living room door. this means that our carpet is getting scruffed up and damaged. And they keep going back to the same patch! Grr.
I read online that using Feliway can help, and it was definitely worth a try. Apparently the spray scent that normally calms cats also represents the presence of another cat, meaning that they are no longer attracted to the same spot.
I'm please to say that it worked well. A couple of sprays on the stairs and the living room carpet has kept all 3 away. It's early days as to whether this is a continuous thing or if a one off hit works. Now all I need to do is just find all the new spots they get attracted to in my now permanent enslavery to our feline overlords.
