Pets, especially cats, scratch furniture as a way to mark their territory, stretch their muscles, and maintain their claws. Scratching also helps them shed old claw sheaths and is a natural behavior for them. Providing pets with appropriate scratching posts and regularly trimming their nails can help prevent them from damaging furniture.
