There is no doubt, cats are enthusiastic climbers and scratchers. Whether it is their carpeted furniture, the side of the couch, your curtains, or that imported rug from India; these animals are all about using their paws and claws. There are many reasons why cats enjoy and need to scratch; here are some visual aids to prove it. Felines of all ages can’t seem to keep their paws to themselves, and we think it is adorable!

There is nothing like using a carpeted masterpiece to keep claws in good form. These cats don’t mind marring the Mona Lisa one bit.
