My cat keeps scratching my furniture, particularly the corner of the couch. How can I stop her from destroying it?
There are a couple of products to help deter your cat from scratching in unwanted places, like the furniture. Sticky Paws are like double sided sticky tape, one side sticks to the furniture, carpet, curtains or wherever required and the other side is also sticky which means when the cat tries to scratch on them they can’t as their paws stick to it. The other options are No Scratch Spray which you spray onto the area you want to deter the cat from scratching and similiarly Nature’s Miracle Advanced Platinum Cat Scratch Deterrent Spray. These products contain a blend of essential oils that is pleasant to humans but cats do not like it so they should not scratch the sprayed area.
You should also provide you cat with somewhere that they can scratch, like a scratching post, so they can perform the natural scratching behaviour without destroying the furniture.
