Stopping cats from scratching up your furniture can be difficult. Cats do need to scratch to help shed the outside of their nails, stretch their legs and muscles, and leave their scent. Here are a few ways to try to stop your cat from scratching up your furniture.

The first way is to try using a scent deterrent spray. Spray the area where your cat scratches with the scent deterrent. You may need to reapply the spray frequently because the sprays can wear off quickly.

Another way to try to stop your cats from scratching is to offer cat-scratching posts. A lot of cats do not like straight vertical scratching posts, so try the horizontal scratching mats or a scratching post with an angle. Also, keep the scratching post in an area where your cat spends the most time.

The last way is to attach plastic panels or aluminum foil to the areas where the cats scratch. This is not the most attractive way, but the cats do not like to scratch on these textures. You can purchase plastic panels made specifically to attach to your furniture to deter cat scratching.

These are just a few ways to stop your cats from scratching up your furniture.
