How Do You Protect Furniture From Cat Scratching?
You love your new sofa and your cat does, too. Unfortunately, Fluffy sees it as a giant scratching post. Cats scratch to remove their old claw sheathes and to mark objects with the scent glands in their paws, and they’ll choose anything handy, including the couch or chairs. It’s possible to protect your furniture from getting clawed to shreds by your cat without taking drastic measures like declawing. Although it may take some experimentation, or even a combination of measures, you can teach your cat not to claw the furniture and to prefer a suitable option. Use double sided tape to train your cat. Cats dislike stickiness, so if you put strips of double sided tape on the areas of your furniture that the cat likes to scratch, he will quickly learn to avoid them. You can use any brand of tape, and many pet stores also sell a wide variety that is made especially to prevent cats from scratching. Once the cat learns not to scratch a certain area, you can remove the tape. It can be replaced
