What can be done if cats scratch sofas and furniture?
For cats, scratching sofas and furniture is their nature because they have an inherent hunting nature. It's not very realistic to stop cats from scratching things, but you can find substitutes for them to prevent them from damaging the furniture.
It's best to buy a scratching board for your own cat, and you can even buy two or more. After all, compared to the valuable items at home, the scratching board is much cheaper. Nowadays, there are those types of scratching boards with scents that cats like, which can divert their attention and prevent them from spending too much energy scratching sofas and other furniture.
Secondly, trim the cat's nails regularly. Cats can damage things, of course, relying on their sharp claws. So if the owner can be diligent and trim the cat's nails well, at least the degree of damage to the furniture by the cat can be controlled.
Appropriate small punishments still have some warning effects on cats. If you find it scratching something, be sure to stop it immediately and scold loudly or pat them gently. However, this punishment must be measured. After all, some pets have a vengeful mentality, and excessive punishment will have the opposite effect.
