Hey there, I just got a new cat today from a shelter, her name is Leah!
I was given a full behavioural disclosure from the adoption people and the declaration was her high energy, which meant for stimulative play and daily routine to keep from frustration and boredom.
Leah completely skipped the sanctuary process, (keeping the cat in a safe environment before full introduction into the home and to others) she was highly eager to leave my bedroom, and would get frustrated despite my attempts to play with her in the room, wanting to leave and explore. (She was very explorative and didn't keep to one part of the house)
I'm wondering about the following;

I'm wondering about the following;
- She's taken a liking to our furniture, a little so much that she's indulged herself in using it as a scratching post, despite stern "No's" like recommended, it didn't stop her from continuing. How can I prevent her from doing this?
- Stern "No's" haven't stopped her from climbing around things she shouldn't, is there a better alternative that's not a water sprayer?
