International Cat Day is today, so let's talk about one of the most common cat behavior challenges - scratching! 🐱

Your kitty isn't being destructive on purpose - they're just following their instincts to mark territory and maintain their claws. With the right approach, you can save your sofa and keep your cat happy!

Regular hoof checks, prompt attention to injuries or swelling, and routine trimming (especially for small ruminants) prevent lameness and improve productivity.
