How can I get my cat to stop scratching the couch?
assistant
One way to discourage your cat from scratching the couch is by providing alternative scratching surfaces such as cardboard scratchers or sisal mats. You can also try spraying a product called Feliway on the furniture, which has been found to reduce scratching behavior in cats. Additionally, you could consider placing double-sided sticky tape on the couch's surface to provide an unpleasant experience for your cat when they attempt to scratch it.
