Try not to clip they if they will bleed. Then they will not let you clip again. LOL

My big Simon has never used the furniture very much only the scratch post and box. My little 6 pound Chianti loves to scratch the furniture. She is my demolition derby. I put soft claws on her. Nothing else will help and she even tries to scratch with them on. My hubby has taped one chair on the sides. It looks like Jeb Clampets chair but it does the job of keeping her away. She does try to eat the tape though. LOL

I put throws on some funiture but she has gone under the throw and scratched. So far she has only shreded the cheap furniture and we have it in the basement.
