Bunny, I just covered my recliner and couch with covers. At first I used blankets but now they look much better with the fitted corduroy covers on them.

You might want to try buying catnip spray and spraying the scratching posts with this to make them irresistable. Also feliway,comfort zone, spray is also supposed to help cats stop scratching furniture and other things. You might want to try this. Good luck.
