We have two energetic young Ocicats. They are indoor cats, not declawed and even though they have a scratching post and we keep their claws well trimmed, sudden bursts of energy often resut in clawed furniture fabric.
We know they mean no harm but we have a newly upholstered armchair that we want to preserve against clawing. Can anyone recommend a safe, pleasant solution, i.e. a spray that can be effective without causing any distress to either cats or humans?
I do not want to keep the cats off the furniture, just deter them from clawing it. This product, No Scratch, appears to be a viable organic solution:

but I'd be grateful for any advice or recommendations, as I'm not even taking delivery of the chair until I have some kind of strategy.
