Cats, claws and new furniture

[ramanth]

Aside from the suggestion of trimming the nails short and having numerous scratching posts.

When Logan and Zam decided to turn their attention to my furniture, I bought some Feliway and applied it whereever they were not supposed to be scratching.

I also picked up some of those two way clear sticky strips.

Haven't had a problem since.

Someone on here suggested BUBBLEWRAP! Works better than the two sided tape, which can affect the fabric, and the 'pops' scare them.....

[Lightning SuperCat]

Lightning never scratched the furniture, But he hates the smell of cinnamon. It keeps him away from anything. There is also pet repellent that cats can smell and hate but people can't smell it. Clip their nails, too. Lightning hates it, but do it anyway. And a scratching post, of corse.
