We got a cat and while we love that little bugger he does have his zoomie phases where he runs around and often attacks our door frames. See screenshot for how that looks.

Issue is, we are renting this place, so once we leave we’ll have to pay up for this. I would prefer to be able to fix this somehow but since this is wood with some paint over it, I am not sure it can be done without being visible later that something has been done.

Any suggestion what a good way of fixing this could be, if there is any?

Bonus question: if you have a cat, I’d appreciate any suggestions on how to get him to stop doing that! He does have ample scratching opportunities already, that isn’t it.

Thanks!

Edit: I should mention, the little round hole is actually not a scratch, but from the nail that is in the frame.
