Cats scratch furniture as a way to mark their territory, sharpen their claws, and stretch their muscles. It is a natural behavior for cats and helps them maintain their claws and relieve stress. Providing appropriate scratching posts and regularly trimming their nails can help redirect this behavior away from furniture.
