Cats need to scratch, and they love surfaces with textures they can sink their claws into. Here’s how to keep cats from scratching furniture.
First, you’ll need a scratching post or scratcher, two-sided tape, odor neutralizing spray, a nail trimmer, catnip and plenty of treats. You may also need sheets, blankets and aluminum foil. Lots of deterrents for a cat scratching furniture. Next, cover their favorite scratching places with double-sided tape. If that doesn’t work, try the sheets, blankets and finally the foil.
Then to stop a cat from scratching furniture, put posts and scratchers next to off-limits areas and slowly move them a little bit further away each day, so your cat gets used to the change. And if you catch your cat scratching inappropriately, just pick them up and put them on their post or scratcher. Treats are in order only when they go on their own. Finally, trim their nails. For indoor only cats, regular nail trims done every six weeks can help them shed old nails and curb their scratching instincts. After that, no more pet furniture frustration.
That’s how to stop a cat scratching furniture.
