Things You'll Need
- Clean spray bottle filled with water (or water gun) Balloons Tape Aluminum pans
Instructions
Watch your cat while he is in the room with the furniture. Have the spray bottle or water gun at hand and filled.
Spray the cat with water from the spray bottle or water gun for the easiest and most effective way to keep him off the furniture.
Blow up the balloons and tie them just before you leave the house. This method does not require you to watch your cat the entire time, but you will not want to be in the house to hear the noise when your cat starts to pop the balloons when he jumps on the furniture.
Tape the balloons to the furniture arms, seat and back. These are the places your cat is most likely to jump up to. When your cat jumps up, his claws will pop the balloons. The sound will frighten him away from your furniture.
Instead of balloons, if you have a wooden floor under your furniture, line the furniture with aluminum pans. When your cat jumps on it, he will knock the pans to the ground. The sound will scare him off.
