How can I get my cat to stop scratching the couch?

One way to try and reduce your cat's scratching behavior is to provide them with alternative scratching surfaces such as scratching posts or mats. You may also want to consider declawing your cat if they are causing damage to furniture, carpets, or other items in your home. Additionally, you could try using deterrent sprays, covering up furniture that your cat likes to scratch, or playing loud music to distract them from their scratching habits.
