How do I stop my cat from scratching furniture?
My cat is an obsessive couch scratcher. I’ve tried a scratch repellent spray, I bought him a scratching post and he won’t even use it. Nothing’s worked so far. He just keeps doing it. I would really be open to any ideas you might have, he’s starting to ruin my furniture.
I tried to softpaws too when he was a baby, but now that he’s bigger, it’s almost impossible to hold him down to put them on or to clip his claws. Even with two people. He screams like we’re torturing him.
Try putting double-sided tape on the corners of the sofa for awhile. Cats hate that texture and he will probably stop. Try different textured scratching materials. You’re bound to find one he likes. When he goes for the sofa, immediately remove him to a scratching post. You can also try Soft Paws nail caps to make the scratching less destructive. Here’s an article on effective, humane scratching solutions.

Training Tips for Cats That Scratch Your Furniture
Why do cats scratch?
Cats scratch:
· To remove old nail sheaths from the claws
· To exercise and tone muscles
· To relieve stress, frustration and boredom
· To “warm up” for a vigorous play session
· To mark territory
Do you want to protect your furniture and draperies? Here are a few
Training tips:
….Place a sisal rope scratching post in a room where the cat spends a lot of time. Cats often like to stretch and scratch when they wake up from a nap.
….To introduce the post to your cat try using catnip as a lure. (For most cats a lure is unnecessary, but fun.) Rub catnip onto the sisal material and call the cat over to the post.
….Scratch your nails along the surface of the material. This will attract the cat and at the same time teach him where to scratch. After your cat begins to scratch, praise him and give him a food treat.
….Small kittens can be trained to climb the post by showing them food treats and placing the treats on the top of the post or perch.
….If your cat has already been scratching a piece of furniture, place the post directly in front of it. Temporarily cover the previously scratched areas with a few strips of double-sided carpet tape or clear double-sided tape strips that are designed for this purpose. This will help redirect your cat’s scratching activities to the post. By offering a suitable scratching target you are providing a natural outlet for a normal, healthy behavior.
Smart and caring cat owners know that claws are very important to cats. Claws give the cat a sense of security, knowing that their defense system is intact. They also allow the cat to grasp and hold objects as well as establish footing for walking, running, springing, climbing and stretching.
Scratching posts and products are designed to maximize your cat’s scratching pleasure by providing an appealing target for territorial marking, exercise, and a playful warm-up.
By regularly trimming your cat’s nails and offering a suitable scratching item, you are providing a natural outlet for a normal, happy and healthy behavior and you will be rewarded with a satisfied and confident companion.

Restoring the Cat Scratching Post Saves you Money
These cat post cost around $29 new, and the cats can turn them into mush in about 2-3 months. Much of the post is still good but the Sisal is worn. You just need a roll of Sisal from the hardware store, glue, tape, pliers and scissors to redo your cat’s post easily.
Sisal roll $5, Glue $2, Tape $3 and other tools you should have in your home. A roll of Sisal is good for about 3 times.
Which brings the total cost for replacing the Sisal on the post to $3 each time. That’s a huge savings.
