Pets scratch furniture for several reasons. One common reason is that scratching helps them maintain their claws by removing the outer layer. Scratching also helps them mark their territory through scent glands in their paws. Additionally, pets may scratch furniture out of boredom, stress, or to stretch their muscles. Providing appropriate scratching posts and toys can help redirect this behavior.
