Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!! It is important to provide cats at all life stages with lots of environmental enrichment and interactive play. Doing so will help to decrease the potential development for destructive or inappropriate behaviors, such as inappropriate scratching, aggressiveness, inappropriate litterbox habits. This can be accomplished through play with you and various types of toys, or through self-play with a cat tower, scratching post, food puzzles, etc. There is a great informational website for cat owners provided by The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine called The Indoor Pet Initiative (for Cats). I recommend that you visit this website as there as a wealth of information available.
