It may be the smell of the edible fish glue that the cats like so much. But, i will pass this info onto my cat loving sister, or maybe better test this idea on her beloved cats next time i visit there, but of course i wont tell her thats why the cats are going crazy I think some addional scientific experimentation is needed here, lets call it independant verification!
Experts: login to post a reply. Because they are quite cheap you will find that a good nail technician will not re-use the same one after usage. Cats may lick emery boards because of the glue used to bind the emery paper to the board. In particular, it may contain fish oil, which most cats love and likely to smell. It could also be the cat likes the rough surface of the sandpaper glued to the board. One final reason is the cat may have a medical disorder such as anxiety or some other issue.
This behavior is a known reason to see your vet with the cat for a wellness checkup. Emery boards are NOT known to be toxic. However, if your cat ate one, it is not good and will likely make the cat vomit. Now, just because they are not toxic does not mean that your cat may be allergic to something in them. It may cause a mild allergic reaction or a severe allergic reaction. If any of these allergy symptoms are present in your cat, call your vet.
The vet will either tell you what to do to alleviate the symptoms or have you bring the cat into the office. You can cat-proof an emery board. There is nothing you can spray or rub on the emery board to make them cat-proof without destroying the emery board. You can try citrus oil in the room you have the emery boards in; cats do not like citrus.
You can train your cat to leave the emery board, however, it is time-consuming, and some cats may never learn it. They grind nails down with a head that rotates at high speed; they run on a low hum, which cats generally adjust to easily.
If needed, you can also offer claw grooming for your kitty too. Dull claws generally cause less damage than the sharper ones. Give your feline fur baby her own scratching post to help her keep her claws dull. If you have multiple cats, give them each a scratching post plus an additional one. Cats tend to be territorial, so having their own posts will better encourage them to use it. Keeping claws trimmed will prevent ingrown nails; reduce property and furniture damage, and help keep Kitty calm and less aggressive.
Your cat will likely be able to keep his claws trimmed on his own with, for example, a scratching post. An alternative? Cat caps! These plastic caps are glued onto claws and help protect anything in the line of fire of a sharp claw like furniture.
Again — cats are instinctually driven. They like scratching posts so much because their claws, in essence, crave getting filed down. Use a file on the soft toenails of a kitten. This is less likely to cause pain or bleeding. When your cat is resting, her nails should retract and tuck underneath her, however, if you can see the nails then they need a trim.
