    One of the most important things to deter furniture scratching is to invest in tall and sturdy scratching posts. Minimum height of 30 inches and heavy. If it moves while your cat scratches on it then they will resort back to your couch.

    Trimming Vern's nails was the way to go for me. There was a learning curve for both of us, but I have found that, not only does the scratching of inappropriate objects (like me!) decrease, but for a couple of weeks he is just less aggressive in the use of his claws.

    I liie all the tips except the mouse trap. People will forget andnor not pay attention enoup to flip it over or the cat will be curious and flip it over themselves causing injury.

    My kitty has already a scratching toy, but he still prefers my straw boxes and chairs ( and I showed him how to use it )

    Leave boxes around , me and my other half adopted out over 100 strays in a few years. All of the cats loved and still love boxes . Why im not sure. They scratch it , hide in it play in it it, sleep in it.

    I used to use those soft claws on my cat, it made him get himself stuck on blankets and carpets. One time he was so badly stuck I had to cut the blanket to set him free while he cried in pain.... Never again!

    Solo Cup update: Cups fall, cat runs. Hours later, chewed red plastic all over the house.

    It’s when the vet said find your cats claw…. I paused the video and chuckled to myself. Oh yes…. before your cats claw finds you!!! Especially if you are trying to do something dumb like putting acrylic claws on poor kitty.🤣 Revenge of the claw!
