To discourage a cat from scratching furniture, you can try the following methods:

  1. Provide scratching posts or pads near the furniture they usually scratch.
  2. Use double-sided tape on the furniture to deter scratching.
  3. Use citrus-scented sprays on the furniture.
  4. Trim your cat's nails regularly.
  5. Provide toys and engage in interactive play to keep your cat mentally stimulated.
  6. Consider using deterrent sprays or covers specifically designed to discourage scratching.
  7. Reward your cat with treats and praise when they use the scratching posts instead of the furniture.
