Our new Ragdoll is cute as a button, but he's been clawing a particular section of our loveseat. I know that spot was previously scratched by another cat and speculate that our kitty is trying to replace the other cat's scent (though I could be wrong).
We have a scratching post not even a foot away from that spot, which he uses but still then goes to the loveseat. We can't use a rattling can because we have two birds, who would become very disturbed from such loud, unexplainable noise. Since we work full time, we can't consistently squirt kitty's tail with water. And I don't want to use those clapper (simulated mouse trap) thingies (our kitten could reach over them to scratch, and I don't want him fearful about getting on the loveseat).
I feel my only recourse is to drap tinfoil over the area, but I'm not sure that would work.
Any ideas would be much appreciated!
