I really hope this all makes sense. =/
Well if there's enough room in your bedroom, then maybe you could put some scratching posts near the bedroom furniture. I have two cat condos in my bedroom and steps covered with berber carpet for my 4 older cats to scratch on. I really don't know what else to suggest. Good luck.
