ocr: Should people expect a kid to act like a grown up? No way. In the same way, you can't expect an animal to act like a personl. An animal is born with certain needs. Cats need to scratch to expose new sharper claws. If you don't want your cat scratching the furniture, give it a carpet-covered wooden post. Dogs need exercise and play. Make sure you take your dog outside regularly. Part of owning a pet is accepting that it's going to act naturally. Learn as much as you can! Books, animal shelters, veterinarians, and pet stores have lots of information.
