 So if she provided a scratching post in the first place, or more than one, and encouraged the kitten to use that, and if for some reason the kitten still began to periodically scratch at other things, she could have deterred this kitten just by covering those other things to make it impossible for the kitten to scratch. I mean, that would have been an easier one. Now, as far as the urination on items, I don't really know. I mean, it has nothing to do with him. Are there other cats or kittens in this house?
