Problem is, with the squirt method, the cats are smart enough only to scratch when you are away. Just like going on countertops.
Has anyone ever heard of an electronic device that you set on your couch, that senses vibration and yells at your cat for you?
I do think I read about something along that lines.


Only thing is, it will activate if you cats just want to sit on the couch and behave themselves too.


There is a plastic sheeting that comes in larger sizes than the double sided sticky. You can find it in Lowe's or HD, and it is like a carpet runner that is used in new, model homes to protect the carpet. It is sticky on one side.

I also have used a cover for the couch, that is loose fitting. Just a piece of material from the fabric store. They don't like to scratch on loose stuff.
