How do I keep my cat from scratching the furniture?

Carpet Couch Pads

One of our readers suggested a unique scratching pad idea: have couch arm covers made of carpet that extend to the floor and cover your kitty's favorite scratching spot. Rub this down with catnip, and once Kitty is accustomed to using this piece of carpet, you can move it to a scratching post.

Just be sure that the texture of the carpet is different from the rest in your house, otherwise your cat will think scratching all the carpet is okay.
