      The best thing to do to stop cat scratching is to get an appropriate scratching post. A tall one would be nice, that way your kitty can climb and play. Most of the times, they will scratch because it is exercise for them and a partial marking of the territory. With the post, they can do all of that!

      Another way to prevent cat scratching is to use a few techniques. Make sure you add the post next to where your kitty used to scratch, preferably next to the couch. Cover the place where she once used to scratch.

      A good way to stop cat scratching is by getting her to use the post with Catnip and praise! You can use catnip powder or catnip leaves which work perfectly. Once she finally uses the post, talk to her softly and encourage her.

      To kick the habit of your Cat scratching furniture, you can purchase a product called Soft Paws. Instead of trimming her claws, you can get her claw caps so that when she digs her nails into anything it won't damage the couch or any other furniture in your home. I have some and they work exceptionally great.
