Is there any way to stop a cat from scratching furniture?
Perdendosi asked:
Our cat scratches EVERYTHING — the sofa, seat cushions, and even the carpet. But most disconcertingly, the cat scratches our new black, wooden bed frame. We provide her plenty of playtime, lots of “good” attention, and a designated scratching post (which she knows is hers), but she won’t stop. What’s the best way to get her to stop scratching up the furniture? If not everything, what’s the best way to get her to stop scratching the bedpost? Are there any “repellant” products you’ve used that are most effective?
Links appreciated.

For the kitties have seen many people recommend them or those pads that destroys furniture you can also purchase tips to put over their nailnever used the sticky tape strips and.
Nope - You can’t declaw them…painless my ***. More and more vets won’t do that to a cat, in fact in Europe nobody does it anymore. Try a cat repellant spray or train them by shaking a rattle can when they scratch and physically move them to their scratching post.
The furniture they finally relented and one tipped over all the pet store.
Either buy or make a cat scratching poll. You can make one using a piece of 4″ X 4″ which you’ve bolted into a wide, sturdy base made of 1 inch plywood cut to size then attaching carpet to it with carpet tacks or a staple gun.
Every time you catch the cat scratching on the furniture, scold it then take it to the scratching poll. They also sell cat repellent at Pet Smart which you could try spraying on the areas where the cat likes to scratch.
The uk wont even do it id kind of having cats only ruin it id love to hear it was part of having cats.
