3 Tips to get your cat to stop scratching the couch:

1. Get a scratching post that replicates the experience of scratching the couch. Vertical, Sturdy, and tall enough for a great stretch!
2. Trim your cats nails. The other reason cats scratch is to remove the dull outer layer of their claws. Scratching is a natural instinct for cats, so you want them to be doing it for the benefit of their health.
3. Experiment with deterrence. Try spraying thyme or rosemary because they're unpleasant for cats but they're not actually harmful.
