Well mine scratch the furniture and most of them by the end of the love seat are schredded . We don't buy new furniture and just cover them up with blankets . I do have to say it got better since I have 2 large cat tree over 6 feet tall and the cat enclosure helps too . Also what has help a little was feliway plug-in for me . But they still scratch . We just don't make a big deal out of it , well me . My hubby is a little hmmm absad , oh well he get over it . We also got 2 rocking chairs with a food stool from wal-mart and they don't scratch them too but like to sleep on them
. As you can see you are not allone in that .
