Well since it looks like you are stuck keeping the couch, heres a suggestion. Cut a piece of carpet and staple gun it where they love to scratch on the couch, that should keep them from developing the habit of scratching the carpet. It's not always what it is, but where it is.....Originally Posted by Leto86
Yeah. They all use the couch. I tried everything. Clipping their nails, buying cat posts, the catnip cardboard things.
The scratching post is a bit scratche dup.. only Poptart uses it though.
But since the couch is almost unscratchable, they are starting to use the carpet, and now there are big carpet threads pulled up here and there.
Mine don't scratch furniture either, they've never even tried and have always used scratching posts, I have at least one post in each room.Originally Posted by Natalie_ca
I'm fortunate that neither of my cats scratch on furniture.
You should try soft paws...I have no time or energy to teach Jake to use his scratching post ONLY. He uses his scartching post but also whatever else he likes...I can't even teach him not to get up on counters/tables, to stop throwing all of my things from my desk on the floor and all of the crazy stuff that he does!! At times I feel so powerless because he is very stubborn, no matter how many times I put him down he still gets right back up on the table while I'm eating....He doesn't come near my plate but just sits across from me and watches me. But yea I've given up on discipline...Originally Posted by Leto86
