Here's a question I got from a friend:

=======>
I wondered if you or any of the feline refuge cat experts knew of an effective spray to keep kitties away from furniture- I just bought a living room load -full (finally after 4 years of having none...) and I think I need to be pro-active judging from the look of a few older pieces here....
=============

I told her about Bitter Apple and also Sticky Paws(?) and such. I also told her to be sure and have good places they can scratch on, such as pads and cat trees and condos. However, inasmuch as I've never had any furniture I felt needed to be kept cat-proof , I wonder if any of you have any tactics you have found to be effective.

Please pass along whatever tips you might have, and I will pass them on to her.

Thanks so much!

Pat
