Carrot is such a beautiful cat - ginger tabbies are so wonderful! The driftwood perch is great. I could use two of those myself. They would fit in my tiny living room and the guys would love them.
When I got Ruby her cat tree/scratching post, she literally started to scratch at it as I was bringing it in the front door!We got my cat a scratching post and he scratches everything but the scratching post, so we gave it away, but he likes to scratch the couches
I havent thought about peices of fabric to use, that could be a great idea! I hope it works and he likes it, he could be stubborn sometimes:lol3:Ooooh, bad kitty @Arielthechunk22
. Somehow I think of your cat scratching away at your sofa intently while looking over towards you - waiting to get told off attention. :disa: The gray cat brother of my previous tabbies would do that on a regular basis. Do you have any fabric scraps that are a similar texture that you could place over where he targets? I am so lucky as I've never had a cat that's targeted furniture like that.
Mouse isn't targeting anything today - he seems to be glued to the end of my bed with his eyes shut. :lol3:

Gosh, your poor couch! I actually gave up once on a chair that my cats insisted on scratching. Just turned it into an overstuffed scratching post and let them go to town. Of course it looked dreadful, but they were happy!Its funny because we got these things to cover the parts of the couch he was scratching because they started looking horrendous, but I have caught him scratching those cover things before, and now, he doesn't just scratch the corner, he goes across the whole couch pulling himself with his front paws, he puts his clawws in the couch and pulls so that he drags himself across and sometimes walks sideways across the couch too, he pulls with his front and back claws across, he can scratch the floor though, it is the same material as the couch.
Sad to say but the couch does sound like it is one very large scratching zone to me....
