What are the best ways to keep a cat from scratching my couch?
assistant
1.  Use double-sided sticky tape or double-sided carpet tape to cover the fabric on your sofa.
2.  Place a scratching post near your furniture for your cat to use instead of scratching your upholstery.
3.  If you have multiple cats, create separate scratching posts in each room so they can all get their fix without fighting over one spot.
