How does everyone deter their cats from scratching their sofas? We have tried everything from a spray bottle (bad, I know) to loud noises to Sticky Paws, and yet Evie and Emerson just continue to scratch the sofa with a giant cat tree not 3 feet away from the sofa and numerous posts within 10 feet.
I've looked into slipcovers/sofa covers and the cheapest I could find for our couch (it has a chaise, so it's shaped awkwardly and not "standard") and accent chair would be close to $350! Sheesh. Besides, they would just scratch the cover, so I'm not entirely sure that would protect what is left of the sofa.
I kind of want to try the claw caps, but I'm really not sure how they would react to them. Dexter chews this nails and I'm afraid that he would eat them.
I welcome anyone's tricks and tactics to save the furniture!
