Hey, has anyone had any luck stopping their own cat from scratching the sofa? I have tried an Organic Spray, and it mostly doesn't work. I have a scratching cardboard thingy that I bought, and my cat uses it everyday. I got him using it after using the sticky tape. I tried using the sticky tape, but he will a few times try other areas. Not a lot though. It does work because he mostly uses the cardboard, but once you remove it-he is back scratching the sofas. He knows we don't like it. My mom hates those sticky tapes because she feels the sofa looks like it is taped up old torn sofa . I personally don't care, but it's my mom's. The sofa is not in bad shape, but I'd like to continue to do something to stop it. Declawing will not be an option. Forget it. I clip his nails regularly, but that won't prevent the problem. Any one have any other tips? There's this weird thing at the store that have plastic thing that you attach to their individual claws. I think it's complicated. The cardboard he has is not for stretching, but I am afraid to buy just anything because he may not like it plus those rug scratching post are a waste of money. My cat doesn't fancy rugs.
