Stop Cats From Scratching Furniture-How To Teach Your Cat

My ideas on how to stop cats from getting on furniture and scratching a leather chair or sofa. These methods of teaching a cat how to not get on furniture really work.
Here's How I Stopped Destin From Scratching My Black Leather Chair:
1. At a young age I taught Destin what "NO" means.
2. When the furniture was delivered to the house, every time my cat would try to get on it I would sternly tell him NO!
3. At night I would place a large piece of tin foil on the black leather chair and below it. Additionally, I sprayed the foil with a mixture of rubbing alcohol, vinegar and water. The offensive odors helps keep cats off of furniture.
4. After about three days Destin continued to try and get on the chair in various ways. I eventually got out a spray bottle and filled it with water. When he would mess with the furniture I would spray the cat with water.
5. The above methods worked and my cat doesn't scratch or get on this piece of furniture anymore. It took him about a week to be trained.
6. It's vitally important that your cat have an area that is his. Destin has a cat tower that is covered with carpet. He loves to scratch on the carpet in various areas of the tower.
Keeping a cat off of furniture and from scratching furniture is going to require a significant investment of your time....You must teach your pet or else your couches or chairs are going to get scratched.
