Good question. It's a way of marking its territory. When cats sharpen their claws they are not only sharpening their claws, but they have scent glands on their paws that leaves a scent marking. It's not that noticeable to humans, but other cats notice it.
i would say so. i have 3 cats, but im not gonna try that on them.
Answer was to buy a "Scat Mat". However - it doesn't work in open doorways - cats jump right over it. But with my bedroom door shut, they don't scratch on it.
close your door and/or put one of those things that goes over the door knob

Keep your door locked,so then,people will have to knock,as there is no other choice for them.
Do you mean scratching? It is normal for all cats to scratch: it is marking its' territory.
Yes, you could. You should keep your door closed while doing this because cats hate water and cats could jump out of the tub. I have a cat and he always runs out the door if it is not closed.

OK first of all you take the cloth and rub its face. Then u rub a little of that on the wall and anything else. Since they have a special sense, and it is their own scent, they will not scratch it.
declaw them like cats. or just file down their nails...be careful when doing so. you dont want to pinch a nerve. that goes for any dog.
To clarify: I had an old closet door, with a large mirror on it, propped up behind my bedroom door. My dogs were playing in the bedroom and must have shifted the mirror behind the door because when I closed my bedroom door behind me, I heard the mirror slide down and then fall... The door has a lever-type handle, with the lever turned vertically up instead of being horizontal (to keep the dogs from opening the door). The mirror seems to have fallen on top of this, and being that it's quite heavy, I can't move the handle at all. Also, about as far away from the door as the mirror is wide, there is a very large cabinet. Anyone have any idea how I can fix this, short of trying to climb through the second story window??
