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

One way to discourage your cat from scratching the furniture is to provide them with alternative activities. You could offer them a scratching post, or put up double-sided tape on areas of the furniture that they are known to scratch. Additionally, you might want to try spraying an unpleasant smelling deterrent near the furniture so that your cat will be discouraged from scratching it.
