My 2 year old male has all of a sudden taken up the habit of rubbing his front paws all over two hanging pictures. I tell him no and redirect him and he goes right back. He is keeping me up nights because he is doing it to one of the pictures in my bedroom. As soon as he sees me coming he stops (sometimes jumps down and other times just stops and stairs at me). He paws the walls, the door (closets, etc), my knitting carrier. He is driving me nuts.

Help!

For about the first 6 years of his life, Moose would hit pictures and watch them swing back and forth on the walls. At other times he would try to walk on the inside of the frames! He's 8 now, and hasn't done this in a while.

Have you tried squirting a water bottle?

It's odd but my cat does that with the wall over his litter box and food, at first we thought he just wanted more, but they were both full and clean, so I chalked it up to leaving his scent
