What are some good ways to keep a cat from scratching my furniture?
assistant
1. Place double-sided sticky tape on the furniture and place it in an area that your cat likes to scratch.
2. Cover the furniture with a scratching post or mat.
3. Use deterrent sprays, such as bitter apple spray, around the furniture.
4. Put double-sided sticky tape on the legs of chairs and tables to prevent cats from climbing them.
5. Place cardboard boxes or other materials near the furniture so that your cat has something else to scratch instead.
